Abstract

It is argued that the type species of Crotalocephalus is C. pengellyi Salter, 1864. The type series and other material of this species is figured, and intraspecific variation of the taxon discussed. Cerauroides cannot be regarded as an objective synonym of Crotalocephalus as claimed by PΕ™ibyl and VanΔ›k 1980. Pilletopeltis is regarded as a junior subjective synonym of Crotalocephalus.
