? Latigammaropsis athenae Myers, 2009: 777 , figs 5,6, pl. 5D.

Material examined. 4 females ( OUMNH.ZC.2002.24.128) Western Channel, Baobeldab Island, from Litophyton sp. ( Alcyonacea : Nephthyidae ), 20 m depth; 07°32.526'N, 134°28.287'E; leg. S. De Grave & C. Burras, 21 May 2002.

Remarks. The female specimens examined in the present work fit closely to the diagnosis of L. athenae from the Great Barrier Reef ( Myers 2009). Since no males were found, the allocation must remain uncertain. The largest female is 3.5 mm.
