Rem.:

Ivanenko & Defaye (2006, p.722) remark : G.O. Sars (1900) descibed Mormonilla polaris from the Arctic Ocean and indicated the lack of differences between this species and Mormonilla minor Giesbrecht (1891). later, Farran (1908- synonymized this species with M. minor. For the authors this species requires re-establishing the validity of Mormonilla polaris and placing it in the new genus Neomormonilla
