Material examined (sequenced)

PHILIPPINES • 1 lv; off Bohol I., 8°49′ N, 123°38′ E; depth 357–372 m; PANGLAO 2005, stn CP2360; MNHN-IM-2007-42445 .

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

‘C’ in site 145, ‘G’ in site 166, ‘C’ in site 301, ‘C’ in site 463, ‘C’ in site 548.

Remarks

The medium-sized species (SL 34.1 mm) is represented in our material by a single specimen; therefore, we abstain from its formal description as a new species. It has strong resemblance to L. bernardeti sp. nov. (see the latter species for comparison).
