portadores de antorchas

Explanation:
THE LAMPADES

Greek: LampadeV Transliteration: Lampades Translation: Torch-Bearers
Roman Name: Nymphae Avernales

THE LAMPADES were the torch-bearing NYMPHAI of the UNDERWORLD, companions of the goddess Hekate in her night-time revels and hauntings.

Parents

They were probably daughters of the various underworld Daimones or River-Gods, and/or Nyx though nowhere stated

鈥淪ome say there are many kinds of Nymphai, eg Alkman: Naides and Lampades and Thyiades ... Lampades those who carry torches and lights with Hekate.鈥 -Greek Lyric II Alcman Frag 63 (from Scholiast on Iliad)

"[Orphne] not the least famous of Avernus' [Hades'] Nymphae." -Metamorphoses 5.538

鈥淗aply by the pleasant silences of Lethe Nymphae Avernales (Underworld Nymphs) mingle and sport around him [a handsome boy who died young], and Proserpine [Persephone] notes him with sidelong glance.鈥 鈥揝ilvae 2.4.100

ninfas del averno / ninfas de la oscuridad / ninfas de las tinieblas

Explanation:
three suggestions, based on the roman name given to these nymphs in your own context (nymphae avernales), since i have found it impossible to trace a real name for them. obviously any option chosen must be written in spanish in femenine...



Greek: LampadeV Transliteration: Lampades Translation: Torch-Bearers
Roman Name: Nymphae Avernales

lampadarios

Explanation:
Etimol贸gicamente del lat铆n. En Google aparece 8.900 veces contra lampad贸foro 18 veces.

Lampad贸foro no viene en el DRAE, pero lampadario s铆, aunque 煤nicamente en su afecci贸n de l谩mpara de pi茅. En el Espasa viene como l谩mpara y tambi茅n como el individuo portador de antorchas.

Supongo que lampad贸foro se derivar谩 de alguna corrupci贸n del griego no aceptada (a煤n) por el DRAE
