Lilljeborgia Goës, 1866, p. 529 (erroneous spelling for Liljeborgia Bate, 1862 View in CoL ).

Remarks

In the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, the genus Liljeborgia includes species with an elliptic basis on the three posterior pairs of pereiopods and species with a rectangular

basis. The latter cluster of species forms the “group fissicornis ”, which may or may not be a clade. This group is the subject of the present study.
