Genus Lucilina Dall, 1882 View in CoL
Following the suggestions of some authors (e.g., Strack 2003, Schwabe 2004, 2006, Schwabe et al. 2008), the genus Lucilina is here considered as a separate genus, and not as a subgenus of Tonicia Gray, 1847 . It differs from the latter mainly in having a multi-dentate second lateral tooth, whereas it is unicuspidate in Tonicia ( Schwabe et al. 2008: 24) .
Type species: Chiton confossus Gould, 1846 View in CoL (= Chiton lamellosus Quoy & Gaimard, 1835 View in CoL ), by subsequent designation (Pilsbry 1893: 210).
