Taxonomy Subsequent workers have accepted the action by Frame (1992) to "restrict the genus Lumbrineris Blainville, 1828 to species with composite hooks, simple hooks and simple limbate setae; to resurrect the genus Scoletoma Blainville, 1828 for species with simple hooks and simple limbate setae; and to erect the genus Lumbricalus for species with composite spinigers, composite hooks, simple hooks, and simple limbate setae."
