Liljeborgia cota J. L. Barnard
Liljeborgia cota J. L. Barnard, 1962b, pp. 83–86, figs. 8–9; 1966a, p. 64; 1967a, pp. 34–35, fig. 1 j-o.
MATERIAL.—Stations 5 (1), 11 (1), 41 (1), 47 (1), 75 (?1).
The specimen from station 75 has the pleonal tooth formula as follows, numbers indicating segments and 0 and + indicating presence or absence of a dorsal tooth; 1 =0, 2 = +, 3=0, 4= +, 5= +. This is the fomula characteristic of L. epistomata K. H. Barnard (1932), a species from high latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere. But the specimen at hand differs in many other characters from L. epistomata, for example, the absence of an epistomal process and the poorly cleft telson. Except for the tooth formula and shorter antennae and poorly developed gnathopods, this specimen fits the characters of L. cota. This species has already been shown to be extraordinarily variable in the references cited.
DISTRIBUTION.—Oregon to Baja California, 366–2,000 m.
