Material examined. No material available for examination. Diagnosis based on description by Sars (1895) , Myers & Costello (1986) , and Lincoln (1979) . Diagnosis. Gnathopod 1 coxa with serrate anterior margin; carpus proximal margin dentate; dactylus short. Gnathopods 1 and 2 bases with heavily setose posterior margins. Coxa 4 anterodistal corner sharp. Epimeron 3 posteroventral corner sinuous with simple cusp. Live specimens are yellowish white speckled with orange and pink. Note. Several authors have suggested that L. lilljeborgii is synonymous with L. incisa ; however, the differences between species are sufficient to keep them separate. Female (sexually dimorphic characters). Gnathopod 2 carpus posterior margin much more setose than in the male. Habitat. Fine sand or pure mud; 10–120 m . Host. Unknown. Distribution. North Atlantic Ocean: British Isles ( Lilljeborg 1856 ; Boeck 1861 ; Sars 1895 ; Norman 1900 ; Stebbing 1906 ; Tattersall 1913 ; Chevreux & Fage 1925 ; Ruffo 1959; Stephensen 1929; Krapp-Schickel 1975 ; Lincoln 1979 ; Myers & Costello 1986 a; Krapp-Schickel 1989 ).
