Hykeliphyllum parvum Kuzmicheva, 2002 does not belong to this genus. The present material differs from the type species by smaller dimensions and a lower number of septa. It probably constitutes a new species, but the available material is not well enough preserved for it to be formally established. Occurrence. Tithonian to Lower Berriasian of Czech Republic (Moravia) Štramberk (CGS HF 3238 ).
