Leucothoe furina Norman, 1869: 281 — Sars, 1883: 104.

Leucothoe imparicornis Norman, 1889: 114, pl. 10, figs 1–4.

Type locality and specimens. Kopervick, Norway. Holotype, male, 14 mm.

Material examined. No material available for examination. Diagnosis based on description by Sars (1895), Myers & Costello (1986), and Lincoln (1979).

Diagnosis. Gnathopod 1 coxa with serrate anterior margin; carpus proximal margin dentate; dactylus short. Gnathopods 1 and 2 bases with heavily setose posterior margins. Coxa 4 anterodistal corner sharp. Epimeron 3 posteroventral corner sinuous with simple cusp. Live specimens are yellowish white speckled with orange and pink.

Note. Several authors have suggested that L. lilljeborgii is synonymous with L. incisa; however, the differences between species are sufficient to keep them separate.

Female (sexually dimorphic characters). Gnathopod 2 carpus posterior margin much more setose than in the male.

Habitat. Fine sand or pure mud; 10–120 m.

Host. Unknown.

Distribution. North Atlantic Ocean: British Isles (Lilljeborg 1856; Boeck 1861; Sars 1895; Norman 1900; Stebbing 1906; Tattersall 1913; Chevreux & Fage 1925; Ruffo 1959; Stephensen 1929; Krapp-Schickel 1975; Lincoln 1979; Myers & Costello 1986 a; Krapp-Schickel 1989). Mediterranean Sea: France (Bellan-Santini & Ledoyer 1972).
