Comments on the clue
1.Myxocephalus scorpius – generic name upper case initial, specific name ALWAYS lower case in Linnaean binomial taxonomy. Everyone knows that.
2.Fourteen words – rather too many, especially as we are being required to cut word length by most publications.
3.I can find no evidence for L = lean
4.Another nonsensical surface. Is "lean" acceptable for 'L'?
