distribution
Report associated with sponges: This species was reported from mud and sedimentds containing organisms such as sponge Halicondria sp., algae Cystoclonium, Plocanium, pycnogonids, etc., from Helgoland, North Sea (Viets 1927 a). André (1928) mentioned this species among algae, sponges and bryozoans from Mediterranean Sea. Remarks: Bartsch (2020) mentioned that the specimens identified to L. falcata from 2500 – 3000 m depth would be distinct from L. falcata and those from 400 – 500 m depth at Golfe de Gascogne (Trouessart & Neumann 1896) were also dubious. This species was reported on various substrates: coarse sands, gravels, shell fragments, sediments with algae, mussels, bryozoans, hydroids, ascidians, and lichens (Abé 2021).
