Litobranchus → Litobranchus fowleriLitobranchus fowleri – Since genus is monotypic and any information currently valid for the genus is also valid for the species, article should be under species name. This also makes it easier to create a general genus page should more species be described and removes the difficulty of having to cut and paste specific information into the species article.

Wikipedia:Naming conventions (fauna)#Monotypic taxa says the article should stay put. Gorobay (talk) 00:44, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

• Oppose per Gorobay. I expressed similar concerns at the Haptogenys RM. Practice and convention are clearly out of sync, but I'd prefer to the the latter modified first. --BDD (talk) 19:18, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
