Remarks.
As with the next species,
L. vinogradovae
has been removed from
Leptognathia
sensu
stricto
and the
Leptognathiidae
by
Larsen & Shimomura (2007)
. Its true generic and familial attributions remain unknown until new and unequivocal specimens are collected. It is an elongate species, with a long pleon and the uropods lack an exopod. It was originally recorded from the Kurile-Kamchatka Trench at 5240 metres (
Kudinova-Pasternak 1970
), but is not recorded in the present material.
