Farfantepenaeus [SEP] parent taxon
Farfantepenaeus
Farfantepenaeus is a genus of prawns in the family Penaeidae. Its eight species were formerly included in the genus "Penaeus". It was first published as a genus name in 1972 by Rudolf N. Burukovsky, but without the necessary designation of a type species. That situation was corrected by the same author in 1997. The name "Farfantepenaeus" commemorates the Cuban carcinologist Isabel Pérez Farfante.
