Redescription
Scientific Name Notes Based on the original description and illustrations, this species is inconsistent with the generic diagnosis of Tylocephalum of both Ivanov and Campbell (2000) and Jensen (2005). This species is essentially unrecognizable based on its original description is therefore considered a species inquirenda.
