Gondwanoscurus Ježek, 2002: 6 View in CoL (type species: Telmatoscopus mcclurei Quate, 1962 View in CoL ); CURLER (2009: 21) View Cited Treatment ; CURLER & MOULTON (2012).

The genus Gondwanoscurus View in CoL was diagnosed by JEŽEK (2002) and consequently extended by CURLER (2009). The phylogenetic relationships in the tribe Paramormiinii are far from resolved, even the new molecular studies do not provide any final resolution (see Discussion). Consequently, current generic relationships are also rather artificial and far from reality. The sister genus of Gondwanoscurus View in CoL is thus unknown, however we provide comparison of important diagnostic characters with four other of many potentially related genera ( Tab. 1).
