From editor or global species database
Taxonomy Miller (2004) restricted the genus Cuthona Alder & Hancock, 1855 to the type species, C. nana (Alder & Hancock, 1842), and transfered to the genus Trinchesia the rest of the species previously included in Cuthona. Miller has been followed by some authors, and has not been followed by others - and there is currently much instability on the extension and contents of these two genera. Cella et al., 2016 hypothesised that the genus Tenellia should include many former Cuthona and Trinchesia species, with others being placed in new genera. Until the species listed here are re-investigated they are left in the genus Trinchesia. They also showed that the type taxon of Trinchesia is a species complex. [details]
