Abstract / Notes

Four new Kalyptorhynchia are described and their relationship discussed: Polycystis ali, P. subcontorta,
Cincturorhynchus karlingi (Polycystididae) and Pocillorhynchus spiroductus (Cicerinidae). The presence of 3
other Kalyptorhynchia species is also mentioned: P. contorta Schockaert and Karling, 1975, Gyratrix
hermaphroditus Ehrenberg, 1831 (Polycystidae) and Cheliplana asica Marcus, 1952, ssp. terminalis Brunet, 1968
(Karkinorhynchidae). In an addendum the genus name Torkarlingia Mack-Fira, 1971 is synonymized with Djeziraia
Schockaert, 1971 since it has been established that Torkarlingia belongs to the Polycystididae.
