Taxonomic History

1897
Musagetes poccockii Thorell, 1897
Described as Musagetes pocockii Thorell, 1897 from Thaò in the Carin hills, female and male syntypes in the Genoa museum. Pocock (1900) spelled it Chilobrachys pococki; Ono et al. (2026) treat that as an unjustified emendation and a new synonym, so pocockii stands.
Not rediscovered since before 1970. Recorded from Kayin and Kayah.
