IRMNG name details
Unreviewed
Taxonomic remark Treated as a corrected original spelling. Verrill spelled this genus both "Benthoptillum" (Amer. J. Sci., (3) 29: 149) and "Benthoptilum" (Rep. U.S. Comm. Fish., 11, 1883, 510, 432). Neave treats "Benthoptilum" as an error for "Benthoptillum" but most recent sources treat "Benthoptilum" as the correct spelling, making the instance in Rep. U.S. Comm. Fish., 11, 1883 a later usage.
