Hülsemann (1966) reexamins the genus Lucicutia, giving specifications on the synonymies and the distribution of numerous species. The author brings to mind that the genus Isochaeta (Giesbrecht, 1889; Rose, 1933; Brodsky, 1950) was put in synonymy by Grice (1963). The family Lucicutiidae considered originally as a subfamily of the Centropagidae (Leuckartiinae de Giesbrecht 1892) has been created by Sars (1902). Andronov (1974) regards this family as relatively primitive, close to the Heterorhabdidae, Metridinidae, Augaptilidae and Arietellidae (Augaptiloidea).
Type: Lucicutia flavicornis (Claus,1863). 43 spp.:

Remarks on dimensions and sex ratio:

The mean female size is 4,755 mm (n= 38; S= 2,707; Cv= 0,569) and the mean male size is 4,157 mm (n= 35; S= 2,278; Cv= 0,548). The coefficients of variation indicate a strong heterogeneity of the sizes between the concerned species, between 10.250 mm for the longest females and 1.2 mm for the smallest. The size ratio (M/F) is 0,935 ou 93,5 % (n= 31; S= 0,057; Cv= 0,061). The sex-ratio (F/M) is 1,09.
