3. Laimella filicaudata Ward, 1974

[ Ward 1974: 94–95, Fig. 2 ; two males, one female and two juveniles, Great Britain, Liverpool Bay, 32–35 m deep, muddy sand and muddy sand with gravel). Jensen (1979) considered L. filicaudata Ward, 1974 to be synonymous with L. longicauda Cobb, 1920 since the differences between L. longicauda and L. filicaudata were so minute that they probably reflected intraspecific variation of L. longicauda . However, Barnes et al. (2012) regarded the differences between L. longicauda and L. filicaudata as well defined and reinstated the latter species as valid].
