Type species Gates (1933) did not designate a type species of Tonoscolex (6 species were included), but in 1936 he did a subsequent designation of Notoscolex birmanicus as the type species. He had included N. birmanicus in Tonoscolex as the first mentioned taxon, but had provided no description of it.  [details]

Taxonomy Gates (1933: 484) included six species (one new species) in Tonoscolex, without designating a type species. Gates created Tonoscolex for "Burmese worms formerly referred to Notoscolex." Gates wrote that "Three Indian species of Notoscolex and one species of Megascolex are probably to be included in the new genus. Further discussion of the relationship of Tonoscolex to Megascolex and Notoscolex as well as a consideration of the classification of the Megascolecinae is postponed for lack of space to a later occasion." [details]
