Chilton (1923) fused L. brevidigitata with L. spinicarpa but I believe 

 it should be resurrected on the basis of the small dactyl of gnathopod 1. 



This new species bears resemblance to L. hornelli Walker (1904) 

 ( = L. furina Savigny by Schellenberg, 1928) in the structm-e of the 

 gnathopodal palm but differs by the short dactylus of gnathopod 1. 

 It also resembles L. stegoceras Walker (1904) but according to his 

 comparison with L. spinicarpa that species also has a long dactylus of 

 gnathopod 1 and thus would be specifically distinct from the new 

 species. 



Distribution: Ifaluk Atoll, Caroline Islands.

 fLeucolhoe tridens recifensis Schellenberg 1938b, pp. 205-206. 



Material: Abbott stations 50-E-l (1), 1G0-165-J-5 (1). 



Remarks: These specimens together fit Stebbing's figures very 

 closely, but those parts missing on one specimen had to be con- 

 firmed on the other specimen. Unlike Schellenberg's (1938a) figure 

 the lateral head lobes are rounded, not acute. Stebbing's figure is 

 not wholly clear on this point. 



Distribution: New Zealand, 2000 m. (questionable type locality); 

 ?Auckland, New Zealand, 25 fms. ; ?Gilbert Islands; ?Philippines ; 

 ?Brazil; ?Ifaluk Atoll, Caroline Islands.

Leiicothoella banmvarthi Schellenberg, 1928, pp. 638-640, fig. 199. — K. H. Barnard, 

 1937, p. 153.— Schellenberg, 1938a, p. 26. 



Material: Abbott stations 99-F-3 (2), 113-H-2 (2), 116-F-3 (1). 



Remarks : Although the first coxa is not as strongly serrate as noted 

 by Schellenberg (1928), the writer finds no other major differences 

 from that original description and assigns these specimens thereto. 



Distribution: Suez; Red Sea; Philippines; Ifaluk Atoll, ?Caroline 

 Islands; Marshall and Fiji Islands.
