Etymology
This genus is dedicated to Dr. Eugenio Fernández-Pulpeiro, who died in September 2014. He was one of the people responsible for restarting bryozoology in Spain, but also our director, colleague and friend, and above all our best example as a researcher as well as a person. Gender feminine.
