Abstract

The taxonomy of Neolloydia gautii and Echinocactus beguinii has been controversial for a long time. A closer examination of the holotype of Neolloydia gautii has shown that this taxon is not related to Echinocactus beguinii, while a careful reading of the first description of Echinocactus smithii has confirmed Zimmermann's hypothesis that it should be considered as conspecific with Thelocactus conothelos. In the light of these facts, two new combinations are made: Echinomastus gautii and Turbinicarpus beguinii.
