[Uncertain status of "T. comparabilis Pajni & Dhir, 1987" in some online sources, may not unavailable, not listed in Andrew & Ramamurthy, 2010], and may refer to their listed Sternuchopsis comparabilis (Bovie, 1908). Else Tuberculomecyslobus oberthuri (Pascoe, 1887) [from "Alcides" oberthurii Pascoe, 1887: 357] may be mis-duplicated in listings, e.g. also as Cylindralcidodes oberthuri (Pascoe, 1887) in Pajni & Dhir, 1987, or also as Alcidoides oberthuri (Pascoe, 1887) in Andrew & Ramamurthy, 2010.

Note: Species listing after Andrew & Ramamurthy, 2010: 322. Genus later listed as valid in Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal, 1999; Andrew & Ramamurthy, 2010 and Kumar, Ram Guru & Sreedevi 2022 (without context about the type species). However, it is not included in Morimoto & Kojima 2007.
