单型金龟属Oficanthon Paulian，1985(鞘翅目：金龟科：金龟亚科)被认为是金龟属Lepanus Balthasar(1966)和奇异金龟属L.mirabilis(Paulian，1985)的初级异名。形态和分子证据都支持这一同义词。形态证据进一步支持将其归入Lepanus ustulatus种群。重新描述了奇异隐翅虫Lepanus mirabilis。
The monotypic genus Oficanthon Paulian, 1985 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) is treated as a junior synonym of the genus Lepanus Balthasar, 1966, and L. mirabilis (Paulian, 1985), new combination is proposed for Oficanthon mirabilis Paulian, 1985. Both morphological and molecular evidence support this synonymy. Morphological evidence further supports its placement within the Lepanus ustulatus species group. Lepanus mirabilis is redescribed.
