ALVINOCARIS LEUROKOLOS View in CoL KIKUCHI &

HASHIMOTO, 2000

Type locality: western Pacific Ocean , Mid-Okinawa Trough , 140 km W of Amami-Ohshima Island, Minami-Ensei Knoll, Depression C; 28°23.35′N, 127°38.38′E; 705 m. GoogleMaps

Known range: limited to the type locality.

Material: type locality; Marine Ecosystems Research Department, JMSTC, Shinkai 2000 dive 549; 5 June 1991; hydraulically driven suction sampler; NSMT-Cr 12457 (holotype, female), NSMT-Cr 12458 (allotype, male), NSMT-Cr 12459 (paratypes, 2 males and 2 females), non-types, 5 males, 39 females, 12 juveniles ( Kikuchi & Hashimoto, 2000) .

Remarks: T. Komai (pers. comm.) has indicated to us that A. leurokolos differs from other species of Alvinocaris to the extent that it warrants placement in its own genus ( Shinkaicaris ); this transfer was recently published by Komai & Segonzac, (2005a).
