Vulcanbius was erected by Chamberlin (1944a) as a genus of Goso- biidae to receive species such as L. godmani showing conspicuous modification of the male 14th and 15th tibiae. But the genus was originally described as having the 14th tibia swollen, complanate and longitudinally furrowed, and the 15th tibia with a dorsal longitudinal ridge or crest. The latter part of this description hardly fits L. godmani and Chamberlin, who cannot have examined a specimen himself, may have misinterpreted Pocock's description. Lithohius oedipes seems to be the name Pocock first gave to this species but he no doubt altered it to godmani before pubhcation of his description, on reahzing that the name was preoccupied by L. oedipes BoUman, Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original British Museum (Natural History).
