Remarks
This minute species is represented both in shallow and deep samples from INDEMARES BANGAL. The illustrated
syntype
(
Fig. 32E‒F
), deemed to be a
holotype
in
Allen & Hannah (1989)
, is larger, with more robust teeth, but otherwise shares with our specimens the unusual inequilateral outline with the pointed posterior part shorter than the anterior. Sizes (3.12 and
1.74 mm
) reported by
Allen & Hannah (1989)
for additional specimens are in the same range. Although this may be an undescribed species similar to
L. orixa
, we prefer to use tentatively this name and await the availability of live-taken material for further study.
