COMPARISONS.—The only previously described species of Bathyleberis having a minute mandibular exopodite similar to that of the new species B. toxotes is B. california Baker, 1979:287. A supplementary description of the latter species based on a female paratype from California is presented herein. The major difference in the morphology of B. californica and B. toxotes is size. The length of the female B. californica is given by Baker (1979:293) as 2.66–2.69 mm, whereas the range of length of the female B. toxotes based on 3 specimens is 1.71–1.78 mm. An additional difference is that about of the length of the posterior 3 or 4 bristles of the posteroventral infold of B. toxotes extends past the valve edge, whereas bristles in a similar position on B. californica are relatively short (compare Figure 25b with Figure 26f). Also, the stem of the sensory bristle of the 5th joint of the female 1st antenna of B. toxotes is relatively shorter than that of B. californica: the base of the proximal terminal filament of the sensory bristle of B. toxotes is proximal to the base of the c-bristle, whereas it is either opposite the base of the c-bristle, or is distal to it, on B. californica (compare Figure 25c with Figure 26g).
