Lucibacterium Hendrie et al. 1970, genus.
Type species: ¤ Lucibacterium harveyi (Johnson and Shunk 1936) Hendrie et al. 1970 (Approved Lists 1980).
Etymology: L. n. lux lucis, light; L. neut. n. bacterium, rod or staff and, in biology, a bacterium (so called because the first ones observed were rod-shaped); N.L. neut. n. Lucibacterium, light (-emitting) bacterium.

---> ¤ Vibrio Pacini 1854 (Approved Lists 1980).

Note: Baumann et al. 1981 propose to transfer ¤ Lucibacterium harveyi (Johnson and Shunk 1936) Hendrie et al. 1970 (Approved Lists 1980), the type species of the genus Lucibacterium, to the genus ¤ Vibrio as ¤ Vibrio harveyi (Johnson and Shunk 1936) Baumann et al. 1981, comb. nov. According to Rule 37a, bacteriologists adhering to this proposal must change the name Lucibacterium to ¤ Vibrio.

= ¤ Beneckea harveyi (Johnson and Shunk 1936) Reichelt and Baumann 1973 (Approved Lists 1980).

Note: Lucibacterium harveyi (Johnson and Shunk 1936) Hendrie et al. 1970 (Approved Lists 1980) and Beneckea harveyi (Johnson and Shunk 1936) Reichelt and Baumann 1973 (Approved Lists 1980) have the same type strain and therefore are homotypic synonyms [Rules 24a and 24b (1)].
