本文简要回顾了现存自由生活的Cycloseris种最近的分类历史，包括对Cycloseris boschmai sp. n. （sclactinia, Fungiidae）的描述，并对另外两个最近描述的种的有效性进行了讨论。一些Cycloseris物种以前被认为属于髌骨真菌群，这也涉及到被错误识别的博物馆标本实际上属于新物种。在30年的野外考察中，对其他标本进行了拍照和采集。新的蘑菇珊瑚与其他自由生活的环孢珊瑚物种通过识别密钥进行比较。它的最大直径为50毫米，是迄今为止发现的最小的自由生活蘑菇珊瑚。它也可以通过其大的初级状态和可变的颜色来区分。它的分布范围仅限于珊瑚三角区，在那里可以看到它是一个不常见的物种，在较低的珊瑚礁斜坡上。
The recent taxonomic history of extant free-living Cycloseris species is briefly reviewed, resulting in the description of Cycloseris boschmai sp. n. (Scleractinia, Fungiidae) and a discussion on the validity of two other recently described species. Some Cycloseris species were previously considered to belong to the Fungia patella group, which also concerned misidentified museum specimens that actually belong to the new species. Other specimens of C. boschmai sp. n. were photographed and collected in the course of 30 years of fieldwork. The new mushroom coral is compared with other free-living Cycloseris species by means of an identification key. With a maximum diameter of 50 mm, it is the smallest free-living mushroom coral discovered so far. It can also be distinguished by its large primary order costae and variable colouration. Its distribution range is limited to the Coral Triangle, where it can be observed as an uncommon species on lower reef slopes.
