Xibalbanus is a genus of remipedes,[1] which belongs to the monotypic family Xibalbanidae.[2] All species live in anchialine systems in the Yucatán Peninsula except X. cozumelensis, that lives in Cozumel.[3]

Etymology

The genus name is composed of "Xibalba", the underworld in ancient Mayan mythology, and the Latin suffix-anus, meaning “originating from.”[1]
