Barnard, 1916 Leucothoe dolichoceras K.H. Barnard, 1916: 151 , 152, pl. 26, fig. 14. —K.H. Barnard, 1925: 343 , 344. — Griffiths, 1974b: 246 . — Griffiths, 1974c: 303 . — Griffiths, 1975: 140 . Type locality and specimens. Cape St. Francis NE , distant 29 miles . Holotype , male, 12 mm , SAM A167 ; paratype , male, SAM A3399 . Material examined. No material available for examination. Diagnosis based on description by K . H . Barnard (1916 , 1925 ). Diagnosis. Gnathopod 2 propodus palm with three large comb-like projections, similar to L. ctenochir . Note. Barnard’s original description of Leucothoe dolichoceras is vague with only gnathopod 2 illustrated. Subsequent reports do not describe the species nor do they provide illustrations. This is likely a valid species, but examination of the type or topotypic material is necessary to distinguish diagnostic characters for the species. Female (sexually dimorphic characters). Unknown. Habitat. Habitat not reported; 136 m (reported as 75 fthm). Host. Unknown. Distribution. Atlantic Ocean: Cape St. Francis to west coast, Africa (K.H. Barnard 1916 ; K.H. Barnard 1925 ; Griffiths 1974b ; Griffiths 1975 ).
