Gurney (1927) described Pseudomesochra parvula Gurney, 1927 as a new species and created the genus Pseudomesochra Gurney, 1927 by monotypy in the same study. Later Gurney (1932) realized that the genus Pseudomesochra was preoccupied by Pseudomesochra T. Scott, 1902 (family Pseudotachidiidae) and therefore Gurney (1932) created the genus Nannomesochra Gurney, 1932 as a replacement name for the genus Pseudomesochra.
