Abstract. Cyclograptidae (=Idiotubidae) are described from the Ordovician to Silurian erratic boulders of Poland. Some problems involved in tuboid taxonomy and colony organization are considered. One new genus (Kozlowskitubus gen.n.) and three new species (Epigraptus eisenacki sp.n., E. kozlowskii sp.n., Dendrotubus bulmani sp.n.) are erected. Names Idiotubus Kozłowski, 1949 and Idiotubidae Kozłowski, 1949, were recognized for junior synonyms of Epigraptus Eisenack, 1941, and Cyclograptidae Bulman, 1938, respectively.
Dendrotubus sp. Upper Ludlovian.
Fragment of colony with partially preserved two isolated autothecae and a thecal group.
