Calilestes pallidistigma and Lestomima flavostigma, both sole representatives of their respective genera, are shown to belong to the genus Rhipidolestes. Rhipidolestes flavostigma comb. nov. is determined to be a junior synonym of R. truncatidens. R. pallidistigma comb. nov. is deemed to be a valid species.
