Note.
Della Vale (1893) listed
L. grandimanus
as “specie incerte.” Stimpson’s original description of
Leucothoe grandimana
(as
Leucothoe grandimanus
) is vague and at best places the species in the
Leucothoidae
. He illustrates only gnathopods 1 and 2 with little detail. Subsequent reports provide little detail. Pending examination of
type
material and topotypic material this should not be considered a valid species.
