Description
Leucothoe campi Mateus & Mateus, 1986 (nomen novum)
Leucothoe denticulata Mateus & Mateus, 1966: 175–177, figs 1, 2. — Wakabara et al., 1991: 69–77 (not Costa, 1851: 177). Leucothoe campi Mateus & Mateus, 1986: 142–144 (nomen novum). — Krapp-Schickel & Menioui, 2005: 81.
Leucothoe mateusae Barnard & Karaman, 1991: 412 (nomen novum).
Type locality and specimens. Ponta de Mina, Island Principe, Gulf of Guinea. Holotype, male, 4.5 mm; paratypes, male, 3 mm (mutilated), juveniles, 2.0 and 1.2 mm (mutilated).
Material examined. No material available for examination. Diagnosis based on description by Mateus & Mateus (1966) and Krapp-Schickel & Menioui (2005).
Diagnosis. Gnathopod 2 basis distally expanded with anterior serrations; carpus distally truncate; and propodus palm with 3–4 major tubercles.
Note. Mateus & Mateus described Leucothoe denticulata sp. n. in 1966, but were unaware that Leucothoe denticulata Costa, 1851 was a valid species. They created a nomen novum (Leucothoe campi) for the species in 1986. Barnard & Barnard (1991) were unaware of this and created a homonym for this species (Leucothoe mateusae). Mateus & Mateus’ original description of Leucothoe campi (as Leucothoe denticulata) is very vague with illustrations of only gnathopods 1 and 2. Examination of type or topotypic material is necessary to clarify diagnostic characters for this species.
Female (sexually dimorphic characters). No significantly sexually dimorphic character.
Habitat. Habitat and depth not reported.
Host. Unknown.
Distribution. Atlantic Ocean: Gulf of Guinea, Africa (Mateus & Mateus 1966; Mateus & Mateus 1986; Krapp-Schickel & Menioui 2005), Brazil (Wakabara et al. 1991).
