Carapace reddish, rostrum translucent; abdomen translucent. Cornea light gray. Antennae and pereopods translucent. Distribution. Known only from hydrothermal vents on EPR 13 °N; at depths of 2618–2640 m. Ecology. Lebbeus laurentae was seen in several active vent sites (Parigo, Elsa, Genesis, and Actinoir) which were composed of black smokers (maximum fluid temperature 360 °C) surrounded by fluid emission at 5–12 °C temperature. Video recordings show that shrimps live among clusters of giant tube worms Riftia pachyptila Jones, 1981. Associated fauna includes the zoarcid fish Thermarces cerberus Rosenblatt & Cohen, 1986, the bythograeid crab Bythograea thermydron Williams, 1980 and the cephalopod Vulcanoctopus hydrothermalis González, Guerra, Pascual & Briand, 1998 (González et al . 1998). Lebbeus laurentae was not seen in clusters of Pompei worms Alvinella pompejana Desbruyères & Laubier, 1980, where the temperature generally exceeds 15 °C, and it is suggested that this species prefers lower temperature of less than 15 °C. Individuals were sometimes seen at some meters away from the bases of active chimneys, composed of basaltic substrate, together with serpulid worms, and a squat lobster Munidopsis recta Baba, 2005. The density of the shrimps is estimated at 1–3 individuals /m ² in the clusters of Riftia pachyptila . The diet of some individuals was composed of unidentified organic matter (M. Segonzac, unpublished data). Remarks. Intrageneric grouping within Lebbeus according to the number of pereopodal epipods was first discussed by Rathbun (1904) and has been followed by many authors (e.g., Holthuis 1947; Butler 1980; Wicksten 1990; Hayashi 1992; Komai et al . 2004; Chang et al . 2010). Although phylogenetic significance of the division remains unclear, the number of pereopodal epipods remains useful for discrimination of species in this morphologically disparate and species-rich genus. Lebbeus laurentae belongs to the species group characterized by the presence of epipods on the first and second pereopods. This group contains 17 known species (Komai et al . 2004; Jensen 2006; Chang et al . 2010). Within this group, L. laurentae is unique in the presence of a deep notch inferior to the base of the supraorbital tooth and the substantially reduced eye (the width of the cornea is less than 0.1 times of the carapace length). It is rather similar to the following 13 species, all placed in a group characterized by the presence of epipods on the first to third pereopods: L. antarcticus Hale, 1941, L. carinatus Zarenkov, 1976, L. cristatus Ahyong, 2010, L. formosus Chang, Komai & Chan, 2010, L. kuboi Hayashi, 1992, L. microceros (Krøyer, 1841), L. pacmanus sp. nov. , L. polyacanthus Komai, Hayashi & Kohtsuka, 2004, L. shinkaiae sp. nov. , L. similior Komai & Komatsu, 2009, L. thermophilus sp. nov. , L. washingtonianus , and L. wera . Shared characters are: rostrum falling short of distal margin of first segment of antennular peduncle, bearing more than three dorsal and one or more ventral teeth; deep notch present inferior to base of supraorbital tooth; anterolateral margin of carapace between antennal and pterygostomial teeth strongly sinuous with deep concavity just below antennal tooth; and first segment of antennular peduncle armed with more than one teeth on dorsodistal margin. Other than the absence of an epipod on the third pereopod, the lack of a ventral lamina on the rostrum and the substantially reduced eyes distinguishes L. laurentae from the other 13 species. This species had long been known as Lebbeus carinatus , although some workers (e.g., de Saint Laurent 1997; Komai et al . 2004; Martin & Haney 2005) pointed out that this name was a junior homonym of Zarenkov’s (1976) L. carinatus . Komai’s (2006) account of this species was erroneously attributed to Zarenkov (1976), although this error was corrected in the corrigendum. Wicksten (2010) finally proposed a new replacement name L. laurentae . Because of the lack of some diagnostic details in the redescription and inaccuracies in the figures given by Wicksten (2010), we here present a detailed redescription and drawings to better understand the morphology of this species. : Published as part of Komai, Tomoyuki, Tsuchida, Shinji & Segonzac, Michel, 2012, Records of species of the hippolytid genus Lebbeus White, 1847 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea) from hydrothermal vents in the Pacific Ocean, with descriptions of three new species, pp. 35-63 in Zootaxa 3241 on pages 36-41, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.280458 : {"references": ["Wicksten, M.

Known only from hydrothermal vents on EPR 13 °N; at depths of 2618–2640 m. Ecology. Lebbeus laurentae was seen in several active vent sites (Parigo, Elsa, Genesis, and Actinoir) which were composed of black smokers (maximum fluid temperature 360 °C) surrounded by fluid emission at 5–12 °C temperature. Video recordings show that shrimps live among clusters of giant tube worms Riftia pachyptila Jones, 1981. Associated fauna includes the zoarcid fish Thermarces cerberus Rosenblatt & Cohen, 1986, the bythograeid crab Bythograea thermydron Williams, 1980 and the cephalopod Vulcanoctopus hydrothermalis González, Guerra, Pascual & Briand, 1998 (González et al . 1998). Lebbeus laurentae was not seen in clusters of Pompei worms Alvinella pompejana Desbruyères & Laubier, 1980, where the temperature generally exceeds 15 °C, and it is suggested that this species prefers lower temperature of less than 15 °C. Individuals were sometimes seen at some meters away from the bases of active chimneys, composed of basaltic substrate, together with serpulid worms, and a squat lobster Munidopsis recta Baba, 2005. The density of the shrimps is estimated at 1–3 individuals /m ² in the clusters of Riftia pachyptila . The diet of some individuals was composed of unidentified organic matter (M. Segonzac, unpublished data). Remarks. Intrageneric grouping within Lebbeus according to the number of pereopodal epipods was first discussed by Rathbun (1904) and has been followed by many authors (e.g., Holthuis 1947; Butler 1980; Wicksten 1990; Hayashi 1992; Komai et al . 2004; Chang et al . 2010). Although phylogenetic significance of the division remains unclear, the number of pereopodal epipods remains useful for discrimination of species in this morphologically disparate and species-rich genus. Lebbeus laurentae belongs to the species group characterized by the presence of epipods on the first and second pereopods. This group contains 17 known species (Komai et al . 2004; Jensen 2006; Chang et al . 2010). Within this group, L. laurentae is unique in the presence of a deep notch inferior to the base of the supraorbital tooth and the substantially reduced eye (the width of the cornea is less than 0.1 times of the carapace length). It is rather similar to the following 13 species, all placed in a group characterized by the presence of epipods on the first to third pereopods: L. antarcticus Hale, 1941, L. carinatus Zarenkov, 1976, L. cristatus Ahyong, 2010, L. formosus Chang, Komai & Chan, 2010, L. kuboi Hayashi, 1992, L. microceros (Krøyer, 1841), L. pacmanus sp. nov. , L. polyacanthus Komai, Hayashi & Kohtsuka, 2004, L. shinkaiae sp. nov. , L. similior Komai & Komatsu, 2009, L. thermophilus sp. nov. , L. washingtonianus , and L. wera . Shared characters are: rostrum falling short of distal margin of first segment of antennular peduncle, bearing more than three dorsal and one or more ventral teeth; deep notch present inferior to base of supraorbital tooth; anterolateral margin of carapace between antennal and pterygostomial teeth strongly sinuous with deep concavity just below antennal tooth; and first segment of antennular peduncle armed with more than one teeth on dorsodistal margin. Other than the absence of an epipod on the third pereopod, the lack of a ventral lamina on the rostrum and the substantially reduced eyes distinguishes L. laurentae from the other 13 species. This species had long been known as Lebbeus carinatus , although some workers (e.g., de Saint Laurent 1997; Komai et al . 2004; Martin & Haney 2005) pointed out that this name was a junior homonym of Zarenkov’s (1976) L. carinatus . Komai’s (2006) account of this species was erroneously attributed to Zarenkov (1976), although this error was corrected in the corrigendum. Wicksten (2010) finally proposed a new replacement name L. laurentae . Because of the lack of some diagnostic details in the redescription and inaccuracies in the figures given by Wicksten (2010), we here present a detailed redescription and drawings to better understand the morphology of this species. : Published as part of Komai, Tomoyuki, Tsuchida, Shinji & Segonzac, Michel, 2012, Records of species of the hippolytid genus Lebbeus White, 1847 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea) from hydrothermal vents in the Pacific Ocean, with descriptions of three new species, pp. 35-63 in Zootaxa 3241 on pages 36-41, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.280458 : {"references": ["Wicksten, M.
