Synonymy Burton (1932: 271), followed by Koltun (1964: 105) and Hooper & Wiedenmayer (1994: 321) considered this a junior synonym of Microxina benedeni (Topsent, 1901). However, Desqueyroux-Faúndez & Valentine (2002) disputed this because the type specimens of the two differ clearly in microsclere content, M. benedeni possessing sigmas, M. charcoti possessing microxeas. Gocke & Janussen (2013: 80) question the genus membership of M.benedeni as its type lacks microxeas, a key character for Microxina.. [details]
