Validity This ‘genus’ was erected under the rules of the Phylocode, which does not recognize ranks or type species. The ‘definition’ of Dactyspicula is quoted from the original paper: ‘(nomen cladi novum, node-based) The least inclusive clade containing Arenospicula Leal et al., 2017 and Dactyloclona Leal et al., 2017’. The ‘genus’?, or ‘tribe’? name is here considered unavailable. No species are named, but these may be derived from the ones mentioned in Arenospicula and Dactyloclona (cf above). Phylocode and Linnean classifications show fundamental differences. The WPD and WoRMS have committed themselves to the latter. [details]
