Type species: Psilophthalmus paeminosus RODRIGUES 1991 is the type species of the genus Psilophthalmus RODRIGUES 1991. Psilophthalmus is preoccupied by Psilophthalmus Szépligeti 1902 (Hymenoptera, Braconidae), hence Rodrigues et al. 2017 suggested the replacement name Psilops with Psilops paeminosus as type species for the genus Psilops Rodrigues et al. 2017. 
EtymologyApparently named after Latin paeminosus = uneven, rough, for the strongly keeled dorsal scales.
