The short pedicel, the short stamens, and the glabrous disc, as mentioned in the original description, point to this species. <i>Trichoscypha bijuga</i> is a common species in the region around Kribi where DINKLAGE collected the type of <i>T. dinklagei</i>. More than 20 out of a total of 55 collections of this species examined from Cameroun are from this area, one of which from near Kribi is here designated as the neotype.</p>
