Recent records for this species continue to be reported under the names Leptodius parvulus (Fabricius, 1793), Xanthodius americanus and Cataleptodius parvulus (Fabricius, 1793), the latter two of which unfortunately both appear in McLaughlin et al. (2005); Guinot (1968a), in the course of revisions, assigned this species to Xanthodius, not to Cataleptodius, and treated Chlorodius americanus de Saussure, 1858, as its only unambiguously applicable senior synonym; records include ULLZ 7031 from the shoreline of Banco Nuevo off the northern coast of Yucatan, ID by D. L. Felder.
