Remarks
.
Bohn (2005)
recognized that
Lepidotrochus
Belyaev and Mironov, 1980
is a junior homonym of
Lepidotrochus
Koken, 1894
, and erected the replacement name
Neolepidotrochus
. The distinguishing characters of species of
Neolepidotrochus
Bohn, 2005
are: wheel ossicles with outward-pointing teeth also have inward-pointing teeth; anterior projections of the calcareous ring plates are lower than the basal height of the plates; radial canal pore is situated higher than the base of the anterior plate projection (see Gage and Billet 1986).
