Remarks:
The
type
specimen has a symmetrically bilobed clypeus and the body has very few scales and several setae. Therefore, it does not belong to genus
Cyphochilus
but to genus
Dasylepida
Moser, 1913
.
Dasylepida testaceipes
is probably a synonym of one of the species described from east
China
but this needs to be further investigated.
