Spinocalanus terranovae  Damkaer, 1975   (F,M)
Syn.: Spinocalanus abyssalis : Farran, 1929 (part., p.227: large forms: F: 2,06-1,8); Bradford, 1971 b (part., p.17)
Ref.:
Damkaer, 1975 (p.60, 62, Descr.F,M, figs.F, Rem.); Mazzocchi & al., 1995 (p.209: Rem.); Lapernat, 1999 (p.28, 42, 55); Park & Ferrari, 2009 (p.143, Table 3, Appendix 1, biogeography from Southern Ocean); Bode & al., 2017 (p.600, Table I, fig. 2, 3, 4, morphology vs genetic).
Species Spinocalanus terranovae - Plate 1 of morphological figuresissued from : D.M. Damkaer in NOAA Technical Report NMFS CIRC-391, Seattle, 1975. [p.61, Fig.141-147; p.63, Fig.159].
Female: 141, habitus (dorsal); 142, idem (left lateral side); 143, basipod segments 1 and 2 of Mxp; 144, P1; 145, P2; 146, P3; 147, P4; 159, terminal segments of A1.


Species Spinocalanus terranovae - Plate 2 of morphological figuresIssued from : M. Bode, S. Laakmann, P. Kaiser, W. Hagen, H. Auel & A. Cornils in J. Plankton Res., 2017, 39 (4). [p.605, Table I].
Species identified via morphological and molecular analyses, including the number of specimens used for each identification method (MI: morphological identification, COI: cytochrome c oxydase subunit I gene fragment, MS: MALDI-TOF analysis, 18 S: ribosomal 18 S gene fragment).
Cryptic lineages were revealed only after molecular analysis.
Sampling depth, latitude, total length (TL) and Prosome/Urosome ratio (Pr:Ur) of taxon were recorded.
morphological characters are only listed here, if the identification was ambiguous due to missing body parts or if cryptic or pseudocryptic lineages were revealed during molecular analyses.
For diagnostic character of species refer to the references: Park, 1970; Grice, 1971; Damkaer, 1975; Schulz, 1989, 1996.
C = coxa; B = basis; P = swimming legs.

Distribution map of Spinocalanus terranovae by geographical zones
Loc:
Antarct. (W Weddell Sea, S & SW Atlant., SW Pacif.), sub-Antarct. (South Georgia, SE Pacif.), ? Straits of Magellan, SE Atlant. (25°S, 10°E), Medit. (off Malta)
N: 12
Lg.:
(13) F: 2,2-1,7; M: 1,9-1,7; (340) F: 1,5; (1252) F: 1,80-1,82; {F: 1,50-2,20; M: 1,70-1,90}
(1252) F: Pr/Ur = 3,3-3,6.
Rem.: Meso-bathypelagic, (off Malta: 2000 m). 2000-3000 m (in Bode & al., 2017 at 25°S, 10°E).
Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.) : 0-1700 m.
Reported as large forms of Spinocalanus abyssalis by Farran, 1929 (p.227); Vervoort, 1951 (p.70); 1957 (p.40); Tanaka, 1960 (p.36).
The presence of this species in the Mediterranean is surprising, but conform to that of the descriptor. A similar case was noted later concerning Ctenocalanus citer in the northern Levantine basin (Uysal & al., 2002).
After Lapernat & Razouls (2002, p.19) the value of the Ithh's index are for masticatory edge of the right Md (830.2; number teeth: 8) and for the left Md (865.8; number teeth: 8)
