Nota: This form is similar to Scaphocalanus major (T. Scott, 1894) in the armature of P2 to P4, and the structure of P5, but can be distinguished from it by the outline of the posterolateral corner of the metasome.

Nota: This specimen measuring 1.76 mm had P5 furnished with a small outer marginal spine near the base of the terminal spine. The specimen has a straight outer edge spine on the 1st segment of the exopod of P2, and the terminal spine of the exopod is more finely serrated on the outer margin. Cephalothorax and urosome in proportional lengths 95:41. Urosomal segments and caudal rami in proportional lengths 7:38:23:23:2:7 = 100.

Distributional range (m) from Grice & Hulsemann (1965): 200-1000 (in Kuriyama & Nishida, 2006).
The identification of the male has often provoked confusions.
? Cf. Scaphocalanus subbrevicornis.
According to Grice (1962, p.213) the similarity of this species to S. subbrevicornis has been pointed by Farran (1929) and Vervoort (1951). The latter author has indicated that Tanaka's S. gracilicauda male is identical to a male doubtfully referred by Rose (1942) to S. dentata.Vervoort (1951) suggests that these two males may be the male of S. longifurca. Grice found a male tentatively refered to S. longifurca than to S. subbrevicornis because of the small size (1.53 mm).
For Bradford & al. (1983, p.99) S. longifurca is very like S. subbrevicornis, but they can be possibly be separated by the terminal spine of the female P5, which is much longer in S. subbrevicornis; the outer edge spine of exopod segment 1 of P2 which is curved in S. longifurca, but straight in S. subbrevicornis; the basal segments of P3 which are densely covered in spinules in S. longifurca, but naked in S. subbrevicornis.
