Yes. Such things are easily overlooked for a long time, though; as usual, 
*Camptodontus* is a beetle, and if you work on vertebrates, you're really not 
likely to come across it.

That said, Google does find it; it has even had a Wikipedia article in English 
since 2012 and in Dutch since 2013, though in both languages it's just a list 
of species names with authors & dates but no further information.

BTW, not that it matters, but for the sake of completeness: Ancient Greek 
odontos does not mean "tooth" as Demirjian (2019) wrote, but "tooth's/of a 
tooth".
