Tomuropeltis R. Laurent, 1947: 58 . Type species:

Monopeltis giganteus Peracca by original designation.

See discussion in R. Laurent (1964: 87), who has published some tentative remarks that would change the status of several of the forms. Since his tentative opinions were apparently based on statements in the literature regarding the forms, and since he did not mention FitzSimons’ (1943) earlier work, his opinions are cited but not followed.
