By original designation Sipalia flava ( Kraatz, 1856) is the type species of both Typhlusida and Tylosipalia . Consequently, Tylosipalia is a junior objective synonym of Typhlusida . This synonymy was established by Lohse (1989) but overlooked by Ashe (Newton et al., 2000). Typhlusida is a valid subgenus of Geostiba and includes 13 west Palaearctic species.
