Abstract
Scalispinigera oculata Hartman, 1967, originally placed in the polycha ete family Scalibregmatidae, is transferred to Lacydonia Marion and Bo bretzky, 1875, in the family Lacydoniidae. Scalispinigera oculata is t he type species of the genus, and Scalispinigera is consequently synon ymized with Lacydonia. The second species described in the genus, S. c irrata Hartman and Fauchald, 1971, is likewise transferred to Lacydoni a. Based on examination of the types Lacydonia antarctica Hartmann-Sch roder and Rosenfeldt, 1988 is considered to be a junior synonym of Lac ydonia oculata (Hartman, 1967), new combination. The relationship of L . oculata to L. mikrops Ehlers, 1913 is discussed.
