Redescription
Scientific Name Notes Palm (2004) describes this as a new species (i.e., designates it as "sp. nov.") but lists "Rhynchobothrium bulbifer MacCallum" with no date as a synonym. This may be refer to Rhynchobothrium bulbifer Linton, 1890 (citation ID #1011, pg. 825), or it may be an error. The PBI 2017 Special Issue lists the authority for this species as "(MacCallum, 1921) Palm, 2004"
