Remarks.
Ever since its original description,
Lysirude
has been regarded as a synonym of
Lyreidus
(e.g.,
Feldmann 1989
;
Collins & Wienberg Rasmussen 1992
;
Waugh
et al
. 2009
; Schweitzer
et al.
2010), or as a subgenus (Feldmann 1992). Other authors have given it full generic status (e.g.,
Guinot 1993b
;
Tucker 1998
;
Bouchard 2000
;
Ng
et al
. 2008
;
De Grave
et al
. 2009
).
Based on the hypertrophied lateral spines, the anterolateral margin typically with a blunt tooth, and on abdominal holding structures (
Bouchard 2000: 175
), the treatment of
Lysirude
as a distinct genus is favoured here.
