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.
