Distribution map of Xanthocalanus similis by geographical zones
Loc:
NE Pacif. (California: San Diego)
N: 1
Lg.:
(17) F: 6,5; {F: 6,50}
Rem.: ? Cf. Onchocalanus cristatus . Esterly objects to this synonymy (p. 69) which is nonetheless retrieved by Vervoort (1950 a, p.9; 1965, p.32), Park (1983 a, p.335, 339) and Bradford & al., 1983 (p.61, 66).
For Brodsky (1950 (1967), p.234), followed by Gardner & Szabo (1982, p.270), this form would represent a stage 5 of Onchocalanus magnus.
