Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Hartmann-Schröder (1986: 58): "Thorax mit 17 Borstensegmenten; Abdomen lang, mit zahlreichen Segmenten. Prostomium-Peristomium ohne Augenflecke. Zwei Paar bäumchenförmige gestielte Kiemen auf dem 2. und 3. Segment. Seitenlappen am 3. Segment. Borsten ab 4. Segment, glatt. Haken ab 5. Segment vorhanden, aviculär, in hinteren Thoraxneuropodien in Doppelreihen angeordnet, "Zahn gegen Zahn"." [details]
Diagnosis Emended diagnosis by Hutchings & Glasby (1990: 273): ''Eye spots present. Branchiae, 2 pairs on segments 2 and 3, dichotomously branched. Thorax with 17 pairs of notopodia from segment 4; notosetae smooth-tipped, narrow-winged capillaries. Neuropodia from segment 5 (setiger 2); uncini initially arranged in single rows, in double rows face to face in posterior thorax, and again arranged in single rows on abdominal tori.'' [details]
Etymology Not stated by the author, uncertain. The name Lanicola could be the result of word blending the generic names Lanice and Nicolea, two of the genera with which the new genus is compared (besides Pista). [details]
