New Zealand, Chatham Islands, off the Forty Fours, 238 m. Material examined. Tonga Islands, Tongatapu, N/O “Alis”, BORDAU 2 stn CP1510, 21°05.5’S, 175°23’W, 461–497 m, 1 spm (MNHN-IM-2013-59980), BL 11.5 mm, 31.05.2000; stn CP1545, 21°17’S, 175°17’W, 444–447 m, 1 spm (MNHN-IM-2013-59981), BL 9.0 mm, 05.06.2000; stn DW1628, 23°22’S, 176°18’W, 400–416 m, 2 spms (MNHN-IM-2013-59982, MNHN-IM-2013-59983), BL 8.0–11.0 mm, 19.06.2000; New Zealand, southern Kermadec Ridge, Rumble V volcano, RVTangaroa, 36°8.80’S, 178°12.20’E, 772–951 m, 1 spm (NMNZ M.319774), BL 18.0 mm, 23.05.2001; Chatham Rise, RVTangaroa, 42°35.15’S, 179°10.57’E, 602 m, 1 spm (NMNZ M.183839), BL 11.5 mm, 29.12.2003. Distribution. New Zealand (238–772 m: Dell 1956 and this study), Tonga (416–461: this study). Remarks. Specimens from Tonga and New Zealand are very similar to the holotype (NMNZ M972) in shape and structure of the shell. Dorsal scales have grooves near the edge of the distal part. Aspecimen (NMNZ M.319774) from New Zealand (BL 18 mm) has a dorsal elevation of 0.27, slit formula 12/1/sinus + 8 obsolete, 18 gills on each side, and the nephridiopore and gonopore arranged between 4–5 and 5–6 gills accordingly counted from the last one. Aspecimen (MNHN-IM-2013-59983) from Tonga (BL 11 mm) has dorsal elevation of 0.31, slit formula 14/1 (rare 2)/sinus + 5 obsolete (valve II has two slits in one side), 16 gills in each side extending from valve IV to valve VII, nephridiopore and gonopore arranged between 4–5 and 5–6 gills accordingly counted from the last one, and a radula 1.6 mm long with 38 transverse rows of mature teeth. L. profundior is very similar to L. scissurata, but differs from the latter in having grooves on the dorsal scales near the edge of the distal part (vs pits on the dorsal scales in L. scissurata) and a shorter postmucronal area. L. profundior differs from L. eernissei in having grooves on the dorsal scales near the edge of the distal part (vs smooth dorsal scales in L. eernissei)
