Lucifuga holguinensis Diaz-Perez, Nieto and Abio 1987 in this web site only
This species was originally described as a "variety" of Lucifuga dentatus as Lucifuga dentatus var. holguinensis (Perez, Nieto and Abio 1987). Molecular studies by Garcia- Machado et al. (2011) clearly showed that holguinensis is not a member of the clade dentatus, and is in fact as far from dentatus as it is possible to get within the tree generated from the data. In previous versions of this web site it was raised from varietal to specific status as Lucifuga holguinensis. However,this was contrary to Article 15.2 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature which forbids the use of varietal names after 1960. This issue has now been resolved by Hernandez et al. (2020) who describe this taxon as a new species, Lucifuga gibarensis.
