The problem of generic circumscription of CycloSlep-
"WIOS is discussed. A bibliography revision of species
is done with the aim of analyzing the diagnostic featuĀ·
res of the genus in contrast with those of its closest
neighbour Srephanodiscu.L The analysis proves thaI
there is no discontinuity between Cyclostep}ulIIos and
Sreplulf/odisctls; it is thus proposed to unite both taxa
under the name of SrephafiodisclIs Ehrenberg. The nomenclatural changes resulting afC also made.
