Type locality and specimens. Balloch Bay , Cumbrae .

Material examined. No material available for examination. Diagnosis based on description by Krapp- Schickel (1975).

Diagnosis. Gnathopod 1 coxa with facial setae; carpus dentate; dactylus short. Gnathopod 2 basis with setose posterior margin; carpus with large subdistal tooth. Epimeron 3 posteroventral corner sinuous with simple cusp.

Note. Leucothoe incisa is a new name for Leucothoe furina Chevreux, 1889 . Robertson (1983) states that M. Chevreux supposed that the sinus cusp on epimeron 3 was overlooked by Bate in his account of L. furina Savigny. Material used in all references to Leucothoe incisa should be examined to be sure they are actually L. incisa .

Female (sexually dimorphic characters). Gnathopod 2 ischium more setose than in male; carpus without subdistal tooth, distally tapered; propodus convex.

Habitat. Sand, mud; 8–23 m.

Host. Unknown.
