has the genus Cuthona only one species: Cuthona nana
(Alder & Hancock, 1842)
let me quote from the last sentence of the abstract:
"As a result the genus Cuthona Alder & Hancock, 1855 is
restricted to one species, C. nana (Alder & Hancock, 1842),
and the genus Trinchesia von Ihering, 1879 is re-introduced for
the rest of the species previously included in Cuthona."
