Comments. This genus is represented by two similar species, L. africanus and L. intermedius , collected from lower bathyal/abyssal settings in the tropical Atlantic with Litonotaster tumidus in the east Pacific. Halpern (1969) outlined distinctions between species in Litonotaster , with L. rotundigranulum later being synonymized by Clark and Downey (1992).
