Uroleptopsis
Uroleptopsis Kahl
[ref. ID; 3925]
Uroleptopsis includes a few species of marine hypotrichs presumably separable from Keronopsis only be apparent absence of transverse cirri. However, transverse cirri are variable in number or absent in some clones of Keronopsis rubra. Hence, recognition of Uroleptopsis as a valid taxon no longer seems warranted. Its species probably are assignable most to Keronopsis. (ref. ID; 3925)
