Silas and Pillai (1973, p.833) remark: Two varieties have been described the first, var. jaltensisindica. Wolfenden's bief description of var. indica is based on a single female 3.1 mm long which is said to differ from the typical female as described by Giesbrecht (1892, Pl.24, fig.48) in the size of the external spines of the exopod of P5, as well as the size and structure of the endopodites. There is no subsequent record of this variety from the Indian Ocean. Sewell (1948, p.432) remarked that the record of occurrence of Anomalocera patersoni, Pontella mediterranea and Parapontella brevicornis from the Maldives and the Laccadives by Wolfenden (1906) could be explained by accidental mixing of collections from this region and the Atlantic Ocean.
After Romano & al. (1996) from copepods collected in the Bay of Naples and maintened at 20°C show a diapause. | | | Last update : 24/04/2013 | |
