Extract

Seven species of the amphipod genus Ericthonius are described and figured from the North-east Atlantic and associated seas and a key to their identification is provided. West Atlantic material is also considered where relevant to the taxonomy of East Atlantic species. Two species are re-established after a long period of submersion in synonymy, and one species new to science is described. The previous confusion in the literature of some of the species is discussed, and a synonymy of species described in key works is provided.
