97. Cyclidiopsis acus Korshikov 1917

MO: Rino 1972 [Gaza Province: Muchopes, Chidenguele, near Chizavane, in a pond on 246 km of national road N1, 1 April 1970, J. Rino 409 and 410], as Astasia acus (Korschikov) Pringsheim.

Note. In ( Rino 1972) Pl. 9, fig. 11-13 is indicated as Cyclidiopsis acus Korshikov 1917 . Based on molecular data it is in fact Lepocinclis cyclidiopsis M.S.Bennett & Triemer , nom. illeg. 2014 (Bennett et al. 2014); the name is, however, illegitimate because of priority for Lepocinclis acus (O.F.Muller) B.Marin & Melkonian in Marin et al. (2003). However, the name is superfluous and illegitimate as Menoidium acutissimum Playfair 1921 was included in the synonymy and thus available ( Guiry & Guiry 2025). Since the name L. cyclidiopsis is illegitimate, we retain the name Cyclidiopsis acus Korshikov.

Genus Lepocinclis Perty, 1849 , nom. cons.
