A new notion of L(n)-hyponormality is introduced in order to provide a bridge between subnormality and paranormality, two concepts which have received considerable attention from operator theorists since the 1950s. Criteria for L(n)-hyponormality are given. Relationships to other notions of hyponormality are discussed in the context of weighted shift and composition operators.
