The Caraboctonid genus Hoffmannihadrurus Fet & Soleglad, 2004 was synonized with Hadrurus by Francke & Prendini, 2008 in June in their review of the taxonomic history of the North American genus Hadrurus.
This decision has now been refuted by Fet & Soleglad, 2008 in their recently published cladistic analysis of superfamily Iuroidea, with emphasis on subfamily Hadrurinae. The genus Hoffmannihadrurus is reinstated and the two species belonging to the genus are transfered from Hadrurus:
Hoffmannihadrurus Fet & Soleglad, 2004 (Caraboctonidae)
Hoffmannihadrurus aztecus (Pocock, 1902)
Hoffmannihadrurus gertschi (Soleglad, 1976)
