TL;DR: The view that the freshwater species have been derived from some commonmarine ancestor, and that morphologically they are indistinguishable from the widespread marine genus Lironeca, is adopted.
Abstract: above points, but despite this the name Ichthyoxenus still seems to survive for certain freshwater species. More recently, Fryer (1965) adopts the view that the freshwater species have been derived from some commonmarine ancestor, and that morphologically they are indistinguishable from the widespread marine genus Lironeca. Fryer thus refers expansus to Lironeca, and considers Ichthyoxenus of Herklots 1870 to be a junior synonym of Lironeca Leach 1818.
