Type species. Acontiostoma pepinii Stebbing, 1888, original designation.

Included species. Stomacontion acutibasalis (Bellan-Santini & Ledoyer, 1974); S. bulbus Rauschert, 1997; S. insigne K.H. Barnard, 1932; S. pepinii (Stebbing, 1888).

Remarks. Lowry & Stoddart (1983) described and illustrated the maxilla 1 palp of Stomacontion pepinii as 2-articulate. Re-examination of the material revealed that it is 1-articulate and tapered distally.
