Farfantepenaeus

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.
