Extract

The original descriptions of species of the genus Ptychodiscus are discussed. Recent material is examined both alive and preserved. It is concluded that the only valid species is Ptychodiscus noctiluca Stein. Ptychodiscus carinatus Kofoid, P. inflatus Pavillard and Diplocystis antarctica Cleve are all synonymous with this species.
