Remarks
- Systematics: Subfamily DIASPIDINAE Tribe LEPIDOSAPHIDINI (Normark, et al., 2019)
MacGillivray (1921) used the two spellings Mitulaspis and Mitulaspidis in his original description. Ferris (1936a) acting as the first revisor chose the spelling Mitulaspis which was adopted by later authors (Balachowsky, 1954e). Morrison & Morrison (1966) incorrectly give the valid spelling as Mitulaspidis and Mitulaspis as a lapsus.
- Structure: Mitulaspis has more or less triangular lobes and is a primitive genus of the tribe Lepidosaphini, probably of the subtribe Coccomytilina (Takagi, 1992b).
- General Remarks: Detailed redescription by Takagi (1992b).
