[p.40, Fig.4] Female: a, forehead (lateral); b, posterior part cephalothorax and urosome (dorsal); c, idem (lateral right side); d, rostrum (ventral view); e, P5. Nota: There are a slight difference in the shape of the crest (in lateral aspect) between this species and S. helenae. The rostral plate is just as in S. helenae, with the V-shaped incision reacing halfway the length of the plate; the rostral filaments are long and soft, slightly longer than the depth of the incision of the rostral plate, they are slightly bifid at the apex. Flat, hyaline spinules occur along the distal borders of the genital complex and the 3rd abdominal somite. Caudal rami as long as broad, and externally haired; there are 4 marginal setae, the appendicular (internal) seta is small and densely plumose. Anal somite almost completely telescoped into the 4th, the small, rounded anal plate is just visible.

For Sars (1925, p.160) , this species is the same that the one indicated by Giesbrecht in the Pacific Ocean as Scilecithrix persecans. With doubts of the identity and gives to this species a new name: S. thorii, that is a mistake
For Østvedt (1955) it is probably only an exceptional circumstance that this species penetrates as far into the Norwegian Sea as latitude 66° N.
According to Vervoort (1965, p.45) , the species represents a regular inhabitant of the tropical Atlantic and Pacific, occurring at intermediate depths, penetrating surface waters during the night.
Certain males and females ascribed to this species may be mistaken, because of the general resemblance with S. helenae, hence a questionable geographical distribution (cf. in Vervoort, 1965, p.43).
According to Brodsky (1967, p.242) a comparison of the drawings suggests that the Atlantic specimens, particularly those described by Sars (from Azores) should be belong to another species. | | | Last update : 25/10/2022 | |
