Maera aequimana Ledoyer, 1979 View in CoL , species dubia

Maera aequimana Ledoyer, 1979: 77–78 View in CoL , fig. 43.

Remarks. The figures of Ledoyer (1979) match well with species of Linguimaera . However, it is stressed that the second male gnathopods are not asymmetrical (therefore the name – it may be an immature specimen?) and we don’t know the shape of the third uropods. In the slide of the holotype the telson is broken in pieces, so it is not clear how far it is cleft, while the remaining material in alcohol (1 male, 1 female, 1 immature) is not available. For the time being this species must remain dubious.
