Comment	Thaumatorhynchus has a single, cylindrical rostral horn. Type species: Thaumatorhynchus brooksi PARKER 1924 is the type species of the genus Thaumatorhynchus PARKER 1924. Vinciguerra (1933) and Wermuth (1967) synonymised the genus Thaumatorhynchus with Harpesaurus. Abundance: only known from the type specimen (Meiri et al. 2017). Illustration: Manthey (2010) published the first images of a living specimen of H. brooksi.
Etymology	Named after Cecil Joslin Brooks (1875-1953), a collector, mainly botanical, in Borneo and Sumatra early in the 20th century. He was employed at a goldmine in Sumatra (1912-1923), traveled subsequently in the Dutch East Indies, and then sailed, via Australia and New Zealand, to Europe (1924).
