Pseudorhombila (Pilumnoplax) normani Miers 1885: 587 .

Pilumnoplax heterochir (Studer) Miers 1886: 227 , pl. XIX, fig. 1.

Remarks. Miers (1886: 227; footnote, 228) synonymised Pseudorhombila (Pilumnoplax) normani Miers, 1885 , with Pilumnoplax heterochir ( Studer, 1883) . Miers (1886) made a reference to the earlier description published in the Narrative and cites “Miers, Narr. Chall. Exp., vol. i. pt. ii. p. 587, 1880”. His 1880 date of publication may be a typographical error but this is not listed in the Challenger Brachyura errata. Pilumnus heterochir Studer, 1883 , is the type species of Neopilumnoplax Serène , in Guinot, 1969. Pseudorhombila normani was overlooked by Guinot in her generic reappraisal (1969) and in her synthesis (1971). This species was not listed as a synonym of N. heterochir by Ng et al. (2008).

Valid as Neopilumnoplax heterochir ( Studer, 1883) .
