  • Salinator sanchezi (Qadras & Möllendorf, 1894)[2]
  • Salinator quoyana (Potiez & Michaud, 1838)[2]

Synonyms:

  • Salinator rosacea Golding, Ponder & Byrne, 2007: synonym of Salinator rosaceus Golding, Ponder & Byrne, 2007
  • Salinator solida (Martens, 1878) is a synonym for Phallomedusa solida (Martens, 1878)[2]
