Type species Beushausen cited both Ctenodonta contracta Salter and C. sulcata Hisinger as "type". Woodward (1896, The Zoological Record, 32: 83) selected C. subcontracta Beushausen as the type. Apparently unaware of that, Cossmann (1897, Revue Critique de Paléozoologie, 1(3): 94) gave C. contracta as the type species, which was followed by Cope (1999). [details]
