Micropodabrus属由Pic（1920）提出，M. obscurus Pic作为模式种，但直到Wittmer（1982）修订之前没有得到额外的关注。后来，维特默系统地研究了喜马拉雅（1983）、中国及邻近地区（维特默，1988）和台湾（维特默，1995）的动物群。在1997年，维特默将两个属合并，Fissodiatraris Pic（1921）和Kandyosilis Pic（1929），并使Micropodabrus成为一个更大的属。迄今为止，该属仅分布于东方地区的有170种，其中华南分布有72种。本文报道了采自海南岛的一个新种--异角微齿象Micropodabrus imparicornis sp. nov.。同时，我们还纠正了一个同名异名，即由Wittmer（1989）从Kandyosilis转移而来的Micropodabrus coomani（Pic，1935），现在是M. coomani（Pic，1920）;建议的替代名称是M.维特梅里群岛
The genus Micropodabrus was proposed by Pic (1920), with M. obscurus Pic as the type species, but received no additional attention until Wittmer’s (1982) revision. Later Wittmer systematically studied the faunas of the Himalaya (1983), China and adjacent regions (Wittmer, 1988), and Taiwan (Wittmer, 1995). In 1997, Wittmer synonymized two genera, Fissocantharis Pic (1921) and Kandyosilis Pic (1929), and made Micropodabrus a much larger genus. Until now, this genus had 170 species restricted to Oriental region, of which 72 species were distributed in southern China. In this study, we report a distinctive new species, Micropodabrus imparicornis sp. nov. from Hainan, where no cantharid species was previously recorded. Also, we correct a homonym, that is, Micropodabrus coomani (Pic, 1935) which was transferred from Kandyosilis by Wittmer (1989), is now a homonym of M. coomani (Pic, 1920); the proposed replacement name is M. wittmeri nom. nov.
