Material examined (all sequenced)

PHILIPPINES • 1 lv; Luzon I.; 15°48′ N, 121°47′ E; depth 593 m; AURORA 2007, stn CP2664; MNHN-IM-2009-13429 • 1 lv; Luzon I.; 15°36′ N, 121°57′ E; depth 1378–1436 m; AURORA 2007, stn CP2752; MNHN-IM-2009-13478 .

DNA diagnosis (based on 2 cox 1 sequences)

‘G’ in site 76, ‘C’ in site 103, ‘C’ in site 337, ‘C’ in site 529.

Remarks

This medium-sized upper to lower bathyal species is represented in our material by two specimens collected off Luzon I., Philippines. The smaller one has a strongly broken shell ( Fig. 11D ). They bear strong similarity to L. legalli sp. nov., L. schepmani sp. nov. and L. oliverioi sp. nov. Due to very limited material we abstain from proposing a formal description of the species.

Distribution

Philippines, 593–1378 m.
