The genus Cycniopsis is reexamined. Generic and specific delimitation is discussed with respect to morphological characters, including seed structures studied by scanning electron microscopy. A hierarchical key to Cycniopsis and related genera is presented. Two species are recognised, C. humifusa and C. humilis comb. nov. Several names are reduced to synonymy, and three lectotypes and one neotype are selected. Both species are illustrated, and a distribution map is provided.
