Introduction
The subgenus name Lucifera as used by Baker et al. (2008) is not available. It is a nomen nudum because the authors did not fix a type species (International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, 1999, Article 13.3). However, in order to preserve the link with the taxa referred to in the molecular paper (Baker et al. 2008), the same name is are used here for the formal descriptions of the new subgenus.
