Type species Type species of *Cribrina* by subsequent designation (Thompson, 1858), contrary to Fautin et al. (2007), who recognized *Priapus polypus* Forsskål, 1775, designated by Haddon (1889), who asserted it had been intended by Ehrenberg to be type species. Both species among the 10 originally included in genus. [details]
