Leuconia nausicaae sensu Burton 1952

The Mediterranean species Leucaltis nausicaae Schuffner, 1877 was reported from the Egyptian part of the Gulf of Aqaba by Burton (1952) as Leuconia, but he failed to give a description. Schuffner’s species is considered a Leucandra, so we assume that Burton’s record also concerns a Leucandra . It likely does not possess giant diactines and has atrial tetractines, which makes it similar to Leucandra pilula sp.nov., but this needs further corroboration.
