Genus
Lestrigonus
MilneEdwards, 1830
Remarks
Bowman (1973) recognised six species, one of which he described as new. One additional species has been described by
Zeidler (1992b)
.
Very little is known about the biology of
Lestrigonus
. All records of associations with gelatinous plankton have been with medusae (
Harbison
et al
. 1977
,
Laval 1980
). Additional biological information is given for
L. schizogeneios
(
Stebbing 1888
)
by
Laval (1968a
,
1972
).
Distributional information for the species is provided by Bowman (1973), Bowman and McGuinness (1982) and Zeidler (1998).
