Summary:L. (M.) weddelli Ledoyer, 1993 Previous records. described and rediscovered for the Weddell Sea (399–577 m). Diagnosis. Long pseudorostrum, very long siphonal tube, two long teeth along anterior margin of carapace, teeth also laterally on carapace and laterally on pereionites. New records. W Weddell Sea: ANDEEP III #151: 1 specimen; ZMH: K 42940. Remarks. The single specimen in the samples fits quite well the description given by Ledoyer (1993) with lateral teeth at the carapace; however, there is only a single dorsomedian tooth discernable.
