Distribution: USA: Florida ( Loftin 1960); Georgia (HWML); Michigan ( Smith 1953).

Remarks: This genus, erected by Chandler (1923), was considered synonym of Diplodiscus by Cort (1926) and Führmann (1928); however, Yamaguti (1971) enlisted Megalodiscus as valid genus. Specimens from Michigan were obtained experimentally and named Megalodiscus ferrisianus Smith, 1953 , currently nomen nudum ( Yamaguti 1971).
