Remarks: This species is strongly eurybathic, ranging in depth from 

 2 to 3 meters on shallow sands, especially in arid lagoons where win- 

 ter temperatures are low, to nearly abyssal depths in the basins ofif 

 southern California; and is distributed from Puget Sound, Washington, 

 to Panama. 



In slope depths greater than 200 m almost all of the specimens 

 lack eyes. This is the most abundant canyon species but is not an indi- 

 cator of bathyl depths because of its eurybathicity. 



Leptophoxus falcatus icelus J. L. Barnard 



Leptophoxus falcatus icelus ]. L. Barnard 1960b: 308-311, pis. 53, 54. 



Basin material: 2846 ( 1 ) , 5938 ( 1 ) , 6828 (2) . 



Slope material: 2303(1), 2389(1), 2413(3), 2423(2), 2845(1), 

 2851(2). 



Canyon material: 2793(2). 



Remarks: The 2.5 mm male of 5938 has 4 posterior serrations on 

 article 2 of pereopod 5 and is thus intermediate between the stem sub- 

 species and L. falcatus icelus.
