Fig. 28M

Material examined (sequenced)

NEW CALEDONIA • 1 lv; SW of Ile des Pins ; 22°53′ S, 167°17′ E; depth 530–545 m; KANACONO, stn DW4666; MNHN-IM-2013-68714 .

DNA diagnosis (based on 1 (!) cox 1 sequence)

‘G’ in site 76, ‘C’ in site 325, ‘A’ in site 368.

Remarks

The molecularly distinct species is represented in our material by a single juvenile specimen of SL 5.7 mm. It was collected in the same haul as L. lozoueti sp. nov. and is rather similar to it, although phylogenetically not closely related.
