Taxonomic remark From Gaffney et al., 2006: Gafsachelys (and Eusarkia and Crassachelys) have been synonymized with Taphrosphys by Antunes and Broin (1988), Broin (1988), and Lapparent de Broin (2000a). Examination of the holotype of Gafsachelys phosphatica Stefano by us supports Broin’s original (1977) assessment that the holotype is not diagnosable. The dubious assignment of better specimens to this taxon by later authors does not make the holotype any more diagnosable or the name any more available. [details]
