TYPE: Male holotype, Museum Paris AR 5730, identified as 2702 Ischnothyreus peltifer E. S. Ceylon.
ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a patronym in honor of Eugène Simon, who misidentified this species as Ischnothyreus peltifer (Simon, 1891), in his paper from 1893 in which a drawing of the male palp was published.
