Description
Summary:Leptognathia zenkevitchi Kudinova-Pasternak, 1970 Leptognathia zenkevitchi Kudinova-Pasternak, 1970: 360 –361, 379, fig. 13. Kudinova-Pasternak, 1973: 157. Larsen & Shimomura, 2007: 15. Remarks. A small, stout species lacking pleopods, with a single ventral seta on the cheliped propodus and short uropods with one-articled exopod. It has been recently removed from the genus Leptognathia sensu stricto (and Family Leptognathiidae) by Larsen & Shimomura (2007), on the grounds that the mandibular molar is broad. Its true place in the new classification remains undecided until new, and unequivocal, specimens are collected. It has been recorded from the Kurile-Kamchatka Trench, 4945 metres (Kudinova-Pasternak 1970), and south of Unimak Island (Aleutian Islands) at 3080 metres (Kudinova-Pasternak 1973) but not recorded in the present material.
