BATHYLEVENSTEINA
PETTIBONE, 1976
Type
species:
Bathylevensteina bicornis
(
Levenstein, 1962
)
.
The genus is monotypic. The
type
species was originally described as
Macellicephala
by
Levenstein (1962)
, who described a particular shape of the prostomium, ending with ‘bifurcate frontal horns’.
Pettibone (1976)
incorrectly considered these frontal horns as lateral antennae inserted medially. Later,
Pettibone (1994)
corrected this interpretation and placed
Bathylevensteina
within the subfamily
Macellicephalinae
.
