Leucothoe procera Menioui & Ruffo, 1988: 171 , 172, fig. 6 (not Myers & McGrath, 1982b ). Leucothoe brunonis Krapp-Schickel & Menioui, 2005: 76–80 , fig. 11. Type locality and specimens. South of Bay of Dakhla, Morocco . Holotype , female, 6 mm , MVRCr 439/ H , slides 4571–4572. Material examined. No material available for examination. Diagnosis based on description by Krapp- Schickel & Menioui (2005). Diagnosis (female). Large irregular eyes. Coxae 1 and 3–7 with facial setae. Gnathopod 2 propodus palm smooth. Epimeron 1 with anterior and anteroventral tufts of setae. Lincoln listed the color of this species as yellow with transverse banding in red. Note. Krapp-Schickel & Menioui list the ecology and depth of Leucothoe brunonis as living among Chaetopterus Cuvier (1830) tubes and 70 m . Lincoln listed these data for Leucothoe richiardii Marine Biological Association, 1957 , which has not been synonymized and should not be used to describe Leucothoe brunonis . Lincoln’s report of Leucothoe richiardii appears to agree closely with Leucothoe brunonis . Male (sexually dimorphic characters). No significantly sexually dimorphic character. Habitat. Among coarse sand or Zostera seaweeds; depth not recorded. Host. Unkown. Distribution. Atlantic Ocean: European and African coasts ( Lincoln 1979 ), Morocco ( Menioui & Ruffo 1988 ; Krapp-Schickel & Menioui 2005 ).
