Genus Aega Leach, 1815

Brusca (1983) and Kensley & Schotte (1989) have given diagnoses to the genus, and generic­level characters have been omitted from the description. Brusca (1983) erected two subgenera, the nominate subgenus and Ramphion Brusca, 1983. Bruce (2004) suggested that as the status and differentiation of subgenera were ambiguous, few subsequent authors have applied these subgeneric names. The species described here is not placed in either of the subgenera.
