Leontocaris alexander Poore 2009 View in CoL
( Fig. 4C View FIGURE 4 )
Leontocaris alexander Poore 2009: 958–964 View in CoL , figs. 2–4 [type locality: Seamount Hill U, Tasmania, Australia, 44°19.6’S, 147°10.8’E,].
Material examined. Chatham Rise: NIWA 33119, 1 damaged ov. female (tcl 14.3 mm, cl 6.8 mm), 42°56.80–56.71’S, 174°28.56–27.87’E, 950–971 m, with hydrozoans and anthozoan corals, TAN0705/291, 28.IV.2007.
Remarks. Poore (2009) recently described L. alexander from seamounts off south-eastern Tasmania (1050–1300 m) and is here recorded from New Zealand for the first time. It differs from the type description in having a shorter rostrum (1.1 cl. versus 1.7–1.9), though the rostral apex appears to be regenerating after damage. The major pereopod 2 is on the right.
Distribution. South-eastern Tasmania and now from the Chatham Rise, New Zealand; 950–1300 m.
