Nomenclature Malmgren (1867) replacement name for Northia Johnston, which is a junior homonym to the mollusc Northia Grey, 1847 [details]Unreviewed
Habitat Known from seamounts and knolls [details]Synonymy Nothria is often considered a synoym of Onuphis. This is probably correct; species of both genera resemble each other closely. The separation is retained here for practical reasons, a final decision of this question will have to wait until more material becomes available. [details]
