N: 47
Lg.:
(34) F: 2,18; (46) F: 2,1-2; M: 1,6; (107) F: 2,11; (109) F: 2,12; (666) F: 2,08-2,02; M: 1,647; (667) F: 2,4-2,1; M: 1,95-1,83; (991) F: 2,1-2,4; M: 1,83-1,95; (1023) F: 2,06-2,3; {F: 2,00-2,40; M: 1,60-1,95 }
Rem.: Farran, 1911 a (p.289) reports, among others, distributions in: The Red Sea, Arabian Sea, Cape of Good Hope, all localisations for which we have no references (maybe from Dana of whom the descriptions appear unsure).
For Boxshall & Halsey (2004, p.491) the subgenus (Dahl, 1912) is considered as full generic status pending phylogenetic revision of the whole family at the generic level.
