Two species once proposed for inclusion in Gallowayella are now included in other genera:

  • Gallowayella hermonii (S.Y.Kondr.) S.Y.Kondr., Fedorenko, S.Stenroos, Kärnefelt, Elix, Hur & A.Thell (2012) is now Xanthomendoza hermonii4
  • Gallowayella oregona (Gyeln.) S.Y.Kondr., Fedorenko, S.Stenroos, Kärnefelt, Elix, Hur & A.Thell (2012) was not validly published because of errors with the citation of the basionym. It is now Xanthomendoza oregana.5
