Redescription
Scientific Name Notes Given that Tylocephalum and Lecanicephalum are now accepted as distinct genera (see, e.g., Euset [1994] and Jensen [2005]), Schmidt's synonymy of Tylocephalum with Lecanicephalum was not justified and the original combination of this name should be retained as valid.
