discussion
Remarks. Foster (1980) placed this species in the genus Graviscalpellum Foster, 1980 together with Trianguloscalpellum annandalei (Calman, 1918), Litoscalpellum giganteum (Gruvel, 1902 a), Trianguloscalpellum gigas (Hoek, 1883), Alcockianum persona (Annandale, 1916), Arcoscalpellum portoricanum (Pilsbry, 1907 a), Litoscalpellum regina (Pilsbry, 1907 a), and Trianguloscalpellum rubrum (Hoek, 1883). These are scalpellids that are all hermaphroditic, attain a relatively large size, and possess lower latera (about 1 / 10 of the height of the capitulum). According to the latest revision by Young (2007), the genus Graviscalpellum is a synonym of Anguloscalpellum. Genus Arcoscalpellum Hoek, 1907
discussion
Remarks. Scalpellum velutinum Hoek, 1883 is the type species by original designation, but is now considered to be a junior subjective synonym of A. michelottianum (Seguenza, 1876).
