Normanion Bonnier 1893

Description

Normanion Bonnier, 1893

Remarks. The genus has been revised by Kilgallen et al. (2006). Their generic diagnosis needs to be modified to: Gnathopod 1 subchelate or weakly chelate. This will accommodate Normanion whoi.

With the two new species described below the genus now contains seven species: Normanion abyssi Chevreux, 1903; N. amblyops Sars, 1895; N. chevreuxi Diviacco & Vader, 1988; N. hipposideros sp. nov.; N. quadrimanus (Bate & Westwood, 1868); N. ruffoi Diviacco & Vader, 1988; N. whoi sp. nov.
