Extralimital distribution: “Vema” 14, off South Africa, Cape Basin, sta. 52, 41 °03’S 7°49’E, 4961 m (bottom trawl; gear: small beam trawl) (JLB 62).
Extralimital depth range: 4961 m.
Type material location: LGOC, New York.
Remarks: This is the unique species in the genus Leptophoxoides J.L. Barnard, 1962, described from the Cape Basin, off South Africa. It is characterized by a deflexed rostrum, a well developed molar, maxilla 1 with inner plate as large as outer and maxilliped with article 3 produced apically.
Gutt et al. (2000) found this deep bathyal/abyssal taxon in the Weddell Sea and recently, Rauschert (unpubl.) extended its distribution in the same area.
