Description
editThe genus Cimmerosiro was described by Karaman, Mitov & Snegovaya, 2024,[5] with the type species Cimmerosiro krivolutskyi Karaman, Mitov & Snegovaya, 2024.
Species
editThese species belong to the genus Cimmerosiro:
- Cimmerosiro Karaman, Mitov & Snegovaya, 2024
- Cimmerosiro juberthiei Karaman, Mitov & Snegovaya, 2024 – Turkey
- Cimmerosiro krivolutskyi Karaman, Mitov & Snegovaya, 2024 – Georgia
- Cimmerosiro rhodiensis Karaman, Mitov & Snegovaya, 2024 – Greece
Etymology
editThe genus is masculine. The prefix is derived from the ancient continent Cimmeria, as the western part is claimed to be associated with the origin and distribution of the family Parasironidae.[5] The suffix echos the name Siro, as a common suffix for several cyphophthalmid genera.
