Leucaltis bathybia Haeckel, 1872 View in CoL

Next to Haeckel’s (1872: 156) description, there are three additional records, (1) by Row (1909: 205) from Suez as Leucilla bathybia , (2) by Burton (1952: 164) from the Gulf of Aqaba as Leuconia , and (3) by Lévi (1965: 25) from the southern Red Sea, also as Leuconia . Neither Row nor Lévi provided a description, so we cannot comment. Burton (1952) gave a partial description, which may indicate his specimens belonged to Paraleucilla crosslandi (see above in the remarks of that species). The species as described by Haeckel (1872: 156) is also discussed above under Leucaltis nodusgordii and under Paraleucilla crosslandi . Its identity remains to be decided from redescription of the type material, ZMB 326.
