Etymology Lagisca is an ancient Greek female given name. Malmgren multiple times uses ancient Greek female names for new genera in his Nordiska Hafs-Annulater work. In this case it is known that Lagis appears as the name of a courtesan in the work "The Deipnosophists of Athenaeus", while Lagisca as the name of a mistress appears earlier and in the preceding sentence. [details]

Status "Since Pettibone (1953) synonymized the type species of the genus Lagisca, L. rarispina (Sars, 1861), with H. extenuata, we doubt the validity of the genus Lagisca, being aware that only a complete revision of both genera could bring enough evidence for this hypothesis." (Barnich & Fiege, 2000: 1915). At least in that work, Pettibone does not seem to be aware of the effect of that claimed synonymy, the synonymies are not discussed, and it was not based on examination of type material, but rather based on literature. Additionally, if the names are synonyms, logically Polynoë extenuata (it is not the type species of Harmothoe) could equally move to Lagisca rather than remain in Harmothoe. So, as Barnich & Fiege indicate, more investigation is needed. Ten years later Pettibone (1963: 41) uses Harmothoe (Lagisca) extenuata, with Lagisca surviving as a subgenus of Harmothoe. [details]

Etymology Lagisca is an ancient Greek female given name. Malmgren multiple times uses ancient Greek female names for new genera in his Nordiska Hafs-Annulater work. In this case it is known that Lagis appears as the name of a courtesan in the work "The Deipnosophists of Athenaeus", while Lagisca as the name of a mistress appears earlier and in the preceding sentence. [details]Grammatical gender feminine as Lagisca is a Greek given name (see etymology) [details]
