Pentanymphon
Pentanymphon is a monotypic genus of sea spider (class Pycnogonida) in the family Nymphonidae. The only species in this genus is Pentanymphon antarcticum. As the name of this genus suggests, this genus is among the four genera of sea spiders with five pairs of legs in adults instead of the usual four leg pairs. The species P. antarcticum was the second polymerous (i.e., extra-legged) sea spider to be discovered.
