Remarks. 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.
