Lucifuga View in CoL View at ENA

Lucifuga Poey, 1858: 95 View in CoL (type species: Lucifuga subterraneus Poey, 1858 View in CoL by subsequent designation of Jordan and Evermann (1896), type locality: Caves of San Antonio, South Cuba. Stygicola Gill, 1863: 252 (type species: Lucifuga dentatus (Poey, 1858) View in CoL by original designation, type locality: Cave of Cajio, Cuba).

Remarks. Poey (1858) described Lucifuga subterraneus and Lucifuga dentata after the generic description in the same volume, without type species designation. The designation of a type species was done subsequently by Jordan and Evermann (1896) as stated in Cohen and McCosker (1998) and Nielsen et al. (1999), and not by monotopy as stated in Eschmeyer (1998) and Nielsen (2003).
