L. fohum, P. & J., Moebius, 1880, Foram, Mauritius, p. 92, pl. viii. 
figs. 16, 17. 
The principal localities for this delicate little species are 
situated in the Pacific, where it is found in the shallow water of 
coral-reefs. It has also occurred at Mauritius, Bass Strait, 
Torres Strait, and Melbourne.

This common and widely distributed species is best represented 
in the lagoon in the samples close to the rim of the atoll. In 
all cases they are rather undersized.

1897, p. 284, pl. 29. fig. 2. 
This striking coral-reef species is well represented in the 
lagoon dredgings. It is one of the exceptions to the rule that 
the best developed specimens occur near the margin of the 
lagoon, for extraordinarily large examples were found in samples 
6 and 15, at 3 and 14 miles respectively from the edge. One 
of these measures 5 mm. in length; whereas the usual length of 
large specimens is 2 mm. 
Lagoon, Funafuti. Sample 1 (10 fathoms); sample 2 
(153 fathoms); sample 6 (21 fathoms); sample 7 (24 fathoms) ; 
sample 15 (19 fathoms); sample 17 (12 fathoms); sample 18 
(73 fathoms).
