Farfantepenaeus
Genus of crustaceans / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Farfantepenaeus is a genus of prawns in the family Penaeidae. Its eight species[3] were formerly included in the genus Penaeus.[4] 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.[2] The name Farfantepenaeus commemorates the Cuban carcinologist Isabel Pérez Farfante.
