Remarks
. The fine figures and photographs were given by Adams and White (1849, in 1848– 1849, pl. 8 fig. 1, as
Atergatis lateralis
Adams and White
),
Dana (1855
, pl. 8 fig. 4, as
Xantho nitidus
Dana
),
Heller (1865
, pl. 1 fig. 3, as
Atergatis elegans
Heller
), De Man (1888, in 1887–1888, pl. 10 fig. 2),
Edmondson (1962
, fig. 3f),
Guinot (1979
, pl. 8 fig. 1),
Serène (1984
, pl. 24 fig. 1),
Sakai (1976
, pl. 146 fig. 2), and
Maenosono (2022c
, fig. 7A–C). According to
Serène (1984)
,
L. dodone
recorded by
Forest and Guinot (1961)
is really referable to
L. glaber
Ortmann, 1893
. This species was first reported from Japanese waters by
Sakai (1965)
, with a colored figure, in which the main part of the carapace dorsal surface is dark brick red. Recently,
Mendoza (2023)
gave three color photographs (Fig. 31B–D) to show the remarkable color variation in the specimens from
Madagascar
. The basic color pattern of the carapace of one of the three is similar to one of two photographs of the specimens from the Ogasawara Islands, bright reddish brown (
Fig. 2B
, present paper) vs dark chochorate brown (
Mendoza, 2023
, fig. 31D) with the whitish anterolateral surfaces of both sides. The photograph taken in the field of Hachijo Island, north of the Ogasawara Islands (
Kato and Okuno, 2001
, p. 127, 1 unnumbered fig.) shows also the similar color pattern with the specimen from the Ogasawara Islands.
Distribution
. Widely distributed in the whole Indo-West Pacific, from the western Indian Ocean to the western and southern Pacific.
