BATHYLEVENSTEINA PETTIBONE, 1976 View in CoL

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 .
