Differential diagnosis.
This species is similar to H. hungerfordianum but the latter has separate angular and parietal lamellae and more numerous barriers.
Distribution.

Remarks.
The striking similarity of this species with H. hungerfordianum suggests that Gyliotrachela is a junior synonym of Hypselostoma.
