Type species: Lanicola lobata Hartmann-Schröder, 1986 , by original designation.

Diagnosis: Branchiae on segments 2–3; eyespots sometimes present; lateral lappets on segments 2 (lateroventrally) and 3 (latero-dorsally); ventral shields from segment 2; pairs of nephridial papillae on segments 3– 4 and 6–7, anterior dorsum sometimes papillose; 17 pairs of notopodia from segment 4; chaetae bilimbate smooth-tipped; neuropodia from segment 5; uncini avicular in single rows on segments 5–10; in double rows, arranged face to face, until segment 20; thereafter in single rows.

Remarks: The genus was recently emended by Capa and Hutchings (2006). They synonymized Paraeupolymnia Young & Kritzler, 1987 with this genus. Thus, after their study, the genus has five valid species, L. lobata Hartmann-Schröder, 1986 , L. carus ( Young & Kritzler, 1987) , L. eduardoi Capa & Hutchings, 2006, L. garciagomezi ( Londoño-Mesa, 2006) , and L. guillermoi Capa & Hutchings, 2006.
