Conradi, Mercedes, Bandera, Eugenia, Mudrova, Sofya V. & Viatcheslav N. Ivanenko,, 2018, Five new coexisting species of copepod crustaceans of the genus Spaniomolgus (Poecilostomatoida: Rhynchomolgidae), symbionts of the stony coral Stylophorapistillata (Scleractinia), ZooKeys 791, pp. 71-95 : 73-74

Genus Spaniomolgus Humes & Stock, 1973

Type species.

Lichomolgus compositus Humes & Frost, 1964 now regarded as a synonym of Spaniomolgus compositus (Humes & Frost, 1964), by original designation.

Other species.

Spaniomolgus geminus (Humes & Ho, 1968), S. crassus (Humes & Ho, 1968), S. globus sp. n., S. stylophorus sp. n., S. dentatus sp. n., S. maculatus sp. n., S. acutus sp. n.

Remarks.

The publication by Humes and Stock in 1972 of a list of new taxa, including Spaniomolgus and Rhynchomolgidae , without diagnoses of the new taxa is considering by us as interrupted and continued in 1973 ( ICZN 1999: Art. 10.1.1); therefore the publication date of the genus becomes 1973.
