|discussion=<p>Neolloydia conoidea has the grooved tubercles and general appearance of many species of Coryphantha, but has flowers, fruits, and seeds most like those of Ariocarpus.</p><!--
--><p>Neolloydia gautii L. D. Benson, known only from the type specimen, was alleged to be from Texas (L. D. Benson 1982). The controversial specimen, a greenhouse-grown plant with a J. N. Rose garden number, represents the common Mexican species Turbinicarpus beguinii (N. P. Taylor) Mosco & Zanovello (in the broad sense).</p>
