Etymology

The name Deefgea derives from:

New Latin feminine gender noun Deefgea, arbitrary name derived from the acronym DFG for Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Science Foundation).[3]

The genus contains 2 species (including basonyms and synonyms), namely[3]

  • D. chitinilytica ( Chen et al. 2010, ; New Latin noun chitinum, chitin; New Latin feminine gender adjective lytica (from Greek feminine gender adjective lutikē), able to loosen, able to dissolve; New Latin feminine gender adjective chitinilytica, chitin-dissolving.)[4]
