Status The variety was described by Brøndsted from Slipper Island, North Eastern New Zealand, approximate coordinates 37.05°S 175.94°E, depth at low tide (type material not identified, presumably in ZMUC). The variety was distinguished from the typical variety, also described by Brøndsted (1926: 315, fig. 11 from New Zealand, from two localities, Three Kings Islands, approximate coordinates 34.2°S 172.1°E, depth 119 m, and from Queen Charlotte Sound, approximate coordinates 41.1°S 174.3°E, depth 5–18 m, type material not identified, presumably in ZMUC) in the shape and size of the triactines (equiangular equiactinal in var. regularis, with sizes up to 1000 x 100 μm, equiangular but inequiactinal in the typical variety, with sizes only up to 650 x 50 μm), and in the size and arrangement of small diactines (both in the ectosomal region and in the canal walls and smaller (only 30–40 μm) in the var. regularis, only in the ectosomal region, and longer (up to 40–50 μm). The differences may be significant and in view of the sympatric occurrence at different depths in the north of New Zealand Van Soest (2024: 95) proposed to elevate the var. regularis to a distinct species Leucandra regularis Brøndsted, 1926.
