Leucothoe micronesiae J.L. Barnard, 1965

Leucothoe micronesiae J.L. Barnard, 1965: 490–492 , fig. 6. — Ledoyer, 1978a: 299. — Ledoyer,1979a: 107, fig. 65. — Ledoyer, 1986: 667–670, fig. 256. — Ortiz & Lalana, 1997: 108.

Type locality and specimens. Ifaluk Atoll , Caroline Islands. Holotype, female, 2.5 mm, USNM 106805 About USNM .

Material examined. No material available for examination. Diagnosis based on description by J. L. Barnard (1965).

Diagnosis (female). Gnathopod 1 basis anteroproximally expanded; propodus narrowing distally; dactylus very short. Gnathopod 2 basis distally expanded; carpus distally truncate; propodus palm concave with three to four major tubercles. Pereopods 5–7 bases narrowly expanded.

Note. Ledoyer’s (1979, 1986) descriptions of L. micronesiae show discrepancies with Barnard’s original description. Ledoyer illustrates scattered ocelli and wider or more narrow bases on pereopods 5–7. The material used in these descriptions needs to be examined to determine if it is L. micronesiae or a different species.

Male (sexually dimorphic characters). Unknown.

Habitat. Among algae; 1–150 m.

Host. Unknown.

Distribution. Pacific Ocean: Ifaluk Atoll, Caroline Islands, Micronesia (J.L. Barnard 1965). Indian Ocean: Madagascar ( Ledoyer 1978a; Ledoyer 1979a; Ledoyer 1986). Indo–Pacific Ocean: Bunaken, Indonesia ( Ortiz & Lalana 1997).
