Syntypes (probable), AM G5395, AM P3470 (according to Springthorpe &amp; Lowry, 1994). <b>Material examined.</b> No material available for examination. Diagnosis based on description by Haswell (1879) and J. L. Barnard (1974). <b>Diagnosis</b> (sex unknown): Eye elongate. Ventral keel with large anterior projection. Maxilliped inner plate with facial setae. Gnathopod 2 propodus with three large projections and two mediofacial setal rows. Brick-red in color, sometimes light pink with crimson dots, sometimes mottled crimson color. <b>Note.</b> The original description of <i>L. commensalis</i> Haswell, 1879 is vague and there are many variations in several structures in each subsequent report of the species. The material used for each report of <i>L. commensalis</i> needs to be examined in order to determine which reports are actually this species. <b>Female</b> (sexually dimorphic characters). Unknown. <b>Habitat.</b> Coral reefs, among sediment; 1–91 m (reported in fthm). <b>Host.</b> Sponges: <i>Antho</i> (<i>Isopenectya</i>) <i>chartacea</i>, <i>Iotrochopsamma arbuscula,</i> <i>Cymbastela concentrica</i> (Lendenfeld, 1887), <i>Holopsamma laminaefavosa</i> Carter, 1885, <i>Halichondria</i> Fleming, 1828, <i>Phorbas,</i> and <i>Phoriospongia</i> cf. <i>kirki</i> (Bowerbank, 1841); and ascidians, including <i>Herdmania momus</i> Savigny, 1816. <b>Distribution.</b> Pacific Ocean: Port Jackson, New South Wales (Haswell 1879a; Haswell 1882; Miers 1884; Haswell 1885; Stebbing 1906; Stebbing 1910a; Lowry &amp; Stoddart 2003), Victoria (J.L.
