Material examined: 1 specimen (fragmented, unmeasurable, sex indeterminate), “Indochine” ( ZRC 2016.0112).

Range: Known from Russia, Japan, China, and Korea, up 50 m deep ( Boyko 2002).

Remarks: The label with this specimen reads “ Pseudoalbunea gordoni gen. & sp. nov.”; this is an unpublished manuscript name of Raoul Serène and is mentioned here as a historical note; these names have no status. The locality of “Indochine” (Indochina; east of India to south of China) as written on the original label is suspect, as L. japonica has never been collected in this region, comprising the coasts of Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam, and the waters are likely too warm for this species.
