Simopelta quadridentata Mackay and Mackay: I consider a synonym of S. andersoni Mackay and Mackay
Simopelta pentadentata Mackay and Mackay: I consider a synonym of S. andersoni Mackay and Mackay
Simopelta williamsi Wheeler: Type locality is Ecuador; Mackay and Mackay identified as williamsi a collection from near Las Cruces. Given the non-concordance of our species concepts, I might identify it differently. My guess is that I would identify the collection as a version of S. andersoni.
