The Norwegian L. brevicornis are very similar to the British L. pallida examined. However the Norwegian specimens have unpigmented or barely pigmented eyes in alcohol, whilst preserved British specimens have completely black eyes. Furthermore, the number of teeth on the dactylus of gnathopod 1 and to a lesser extent of gnathopod 2 is consistently smaller in the Norwegian specimens.
It remains unresolved question whether the differences in eyes colour and in the number of dactylar teeth between L. brevicornis and L. pallida are really of a specific nature or not. However in the absence of evidence to the contrary, it seems preferable to keep them as separate for the time being.
