DISTRIBUTION. — Throughout the Indo-West Pacific (uncommon in the Seychelles: Jarrett 2000), including Hawaii ( Kay 1979). New Caledonia and Loyalty Islands, empty shells in 2- 60 m. Austral Islands, empty shells in 5-15 m (ATELIER RAPA 2002 ) and 107-950 m (BENTHAUS), although the deep records (BENTHAUS) are probably drifted from shallower waters.

REMARKS

It is considered the commonest species of Leptoconchus in the Indo-West Pacific region ( Massin 1982). Despite this, only a few shells of L. lamarckii are present in the samples studied.Sampling that is more focused on endobiotic gastropods would probably give a better idea of their regional diversity.
