Leucosolenia irregularis Jenkin 1908

Description

Leucosolenia irregularis Jenkin, 1908

Jenkin (1908: 440, figs 88–90) described this from Wasini Island, near Zanzibar. It has been reassigned to Soleneiscus by Borojević et al. (2002: 1144). Voigt et al. (2017) compared this with his Red Sea Soleneiscus hamatus, concluding the two are closely related but separate species.
