Abstract
Afrotropical genus Cyclolimnichus Deleve is revised. The only previously de scribed species in the genus, C. presignis Deleve, is redescribed and three species, C. dentoni and C. ovalis from Cameroon and C. jaechi from Kenya, are described as new. Two species groups are identified according to extern al morphology and male genitalia, the first comprises C. presignis and C. j aechi, and the second C. ovalis and C. dentoni. A key to the species of Cyc lolimnichus is provided.
