Farfantepenaeus
Introduction '''''Farfantepenaeus''''' is a genus of prawns in the family Penaeidae. Its eight species were formerly included in the genus ''Penaeus''. It was first published as a genus name in 1972 by Rudolf N. Burukovsky, but without the necessary designation of a type species. That situation was corrected by the same author in 1997.The name ''Farfantepenaeus'' commemorates the Cuban carcinologist Isabel Pérez Farfante.
