The reliability of certain structures of rotifers used for specific identification is discussed. Dicranophorus uncinalus (Milne) of Harring and Myers has been redesignated as D. aquilus (Gosse) and both species are redescribed. D. uncinalus of Weber (nee Milne) is a member of the D. rostratus-grypus group and D. cernuus Harring and Myers is a synonym of D. rostratus (D.-N. &F.), while D. coryslis H. &M. and D. haueri H. &M. are both valid species distinct from D. rostratus.
