From editor or global species database
Authority McIntosh (1900) states he adopted as replacement name for the homonym Dasylepis a name a certain Canon Norman had used for a polynoid specimen. It is clear from the context that Norman did not otherwise contribute to McIntosh's evaluation of Acanthicolepis and content of the text, so attributing the authority of the text to 'Norman in McIntosh' as suggested by Barnich, Gil & Fiege (2000) and Barnich & Fiege (2010) is incorrect. McIntosh mentions Norman a number of times in his monograph as a collector and observer of Scandinavian material. The nature of a Canon Norman manuscript is otherwise unstated in McIntosh. [details]

Diagnosis [Fide Fiege & Barnich, 2009:150] "Body dorsoventrally flattened, short, with about 43 segments, more or less covered by elytra. Eighteen pairs of elytra on segments 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 26, 29, 32, 34, 35, and 38. Prostomium with distinct cephalic peaks and three antennae; lateral antennae inserted ventrally to median antenna; anterior pair of eyes dorsolateral on widest part of prostomium, posterior pair dorsal near hind margin of prostomium. Parapodia with elongate acicular lobes with both acicula penetrating epidermis; neuropodia with supra-acicular process. Notochaetae stout with numerous rows of spines; neurochaetae more slender with numerous rows of spines in distal region, tips unidentate and bidentate with subdistal secondary tooth." [details]
