The Lower Jurassic genus Eodasycladus is discussed according to the characters of type species and compared with the other species known in the literature. The architecture of two species attributed to the genus Palaeodasycladus, P. alanensis Sokacˇ, and P. benceki Sokacˇ, is examined and an alternative organization of the thallus is prospected. P. alanensis is considered a valid species, but its characters require to transfer the taxon to the genus Eodasycladus. P. benceki is considered synonymous with P. alanensis.

Abstract
The Lower Jurassic genus Eodasycladus is discussed according to the characters of type species and compared with the other species known in the literature. The architecture of two species attributed to the genus Palaeodasycladus, P. alanensis Sokacˇ, and P. benceki Sokacˇ, is examined and an alternative organization of the thallus is prospected. P. alanensis is considered a valid species, but its characters require to transfer the taxon to the genus Eodasycladus. P. benceki is considered synonymous with P. alanensis.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
