As stated by Borovec & Meregalli (2013) , this species does not belong to the genus Trachyphloeosoma Wollaston, 1869 , which is known only from China , Vietnam , Korea and Japan and introduced to Hawaii and the continental USA . It belongs to a distinct but undescribed genus occurring in the Western and Eastern Cape and the KwaZulu-Natal provinces, comprising another 14 undescribed species. These taxa will be described in a forthcoming revision.
