However, the current classification is problematic. The South American specimens lack illustrations and are likely misidentified. Several African species (e. g., G. australis Hewitt, 1915; G. jeanneli Fage, 1936; G. longisetosa Lawrence, 1952) are evidently misplaced (see fig. 2, Hewitt 1915; fig. 6, Fage and Simon 1936; figs 8–11, Lawrence 1952). Similarly, G. kabulensis Roewer, 1960 from Afghanistan may also be incorrectly classified (see fig. 8 a – c, Roewer 1960). A comprehensive revision of the genus is therefore essential.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/FEB15133B41C5245B11F3466FE2BC2BC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

According to Eichenberger et al. (2012), the separation of the two genera may be arbitrary. The genus Xestaspis is most probably a junior synonym of Gamasomorpha (Ranasinghe and Benjamin 2016) . We re - checked the type specimens of Xestaspis shoushanensis and the new materials from Sumatra. The pointed tubercles of the booklung covers of this species are inconspicuous. Thus, we transfer it from Xestaspis to Gamasomorpha, as a new combination, Gamasomorpha shoushanensis .</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>China (Taiwan), Indonesia (Fig. 13).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1ADEB79F74C850EE821A67E2E499EC8D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
