Atlantolocia laevidorsalis (Miers, 1881) Figs 32−33 Material examined GHANA • 35 ♂♂ (min. 3.3×4.4, max. 8.7×10.1), 17 ♀♀ (min. 6.1 ×7.1, max. 7.7 ×8.7); Mar. 1993; MNCN20.04/10271 • 1 ♂ (5.7 ×6.5), 1 ♀ (7.8× 7.3); 1993; MNCN20.04/41936 • 1 ♀ (6.2 ×7.2), 2 ♂♂ (6.3 ×7.2, 7× 8.2); 1993; MNCN20.04/41938 • 9 ♂♂ (min. 4.3 ×5, max. 8×9.4), 4 ♀♀ (min. 6×6.9, max. 7×7.9); 1993; depth 7−10 m; MNCN20.04/41931 • 1 ♂ (5.1× 6); Mar. 1993; MNCN20.04/20979 • 4 ♂♂ (4.5 ×5.4, 5.5×6.5, 4.6 ×4.9, 4.3 ×4.9); Mar. 1993; MNCN20.04/41924. Remarks Among the 52 specimens of A. laevidorsalis with MNCN20.04/10271 code, there were two other species of leucosids. The specimens MNCN20.04/41938 were mixed with other two species under the Polybiidae family and the three specimens of MNCN20.04/41936 were also mixed but without assigned family within the Decapoda. The 13 specimens of A. laevidorsalis MNCN 20.04/11657c were mixed with bivalves, polychaetes, and other decapods, simply identified as “ Decapoda ”. The four males of MNCN20.04/41924 were mixed with other decapods without determination. The specimen MNCN20.04/20979 was covered with organic remains, possibly some type of microalgae, which made it look like another species with a rough carapace. For identification see also Galil (2009).
