REMARKS

Although not found in New Caledonia, we illustrate this neglected species because it has been confused with Lepidolucina venusta n. comb. It differs in having the antero-dorsal area projected as a semicircular lobe or “ear”. Internally, this extension is occupied by the dorsal part of the anterior adductor muscle scar.
