Taxonomy Cœlopus porcellus (Gosse) after Weber (1898); Trichocerca intermedia (Stenroos) after ?Wulfert (1965).
Jennings (1903:310)gives the following historical accout: "This species was figured by Weber (1898, pl.20, figs.2-4) as Coelopus porcellus Gosse (Diurella porcellus Gosse). Weber's description confuses the two species; thus, the two teeth at the anterior edge, mentioned by Weber, but not figured, belong to the real D. porcellus Gosse, not to the species which he figures. That the figure represents the present species is shown by the general form, the high, sharp ridge, the single tooth, the form of the trophi, and the extension of the anterior edge of the lorica on the left side, all points which are characteristic of the present species and distinguish it clearly from D. porcellus Gosse."
