 issued from : C.C. Davis in Univ. Wash. Publs Biol., 1949, 14. [Pl.4, Figs.44-48]. Female: 44, basipod of P4; 45, urosome (dorsal); 46, 2nd endopodal segment of A2; 47, A2. Endopod of A2 about 2/5 the length of exopod ; last segment of endopod with 11 setae. 1st basal segment of P4 with 2 or 3 prominent spines on the inner border. Male (with doubt in this species): 48, P5. Nota : Urosome symmetrical, with a very short anal segment that is divided longitudinally. Right P5 with a well developed chela, the outer claw formed by the exopod and the inner claw by the endopod. Left P5 with an extremely rudimentary endopod, so that it appears almost uniramous, the le gis short, somewhat longer than the two segments of the basipod of the right leg.

Distribution map of Euchirella pseudopulchra by geographical zones
|
| | | | Loc: | | | British Columbia, California, San Diego, Okhotsk Sea, Kuril-Kamchatka Trench | | | | N: | 7 | | | | Lg.: | | | (37) F: 4,35-3,55; (59) F: 4,4-3,4; (243) F: 4,35-4,2; (1257) F: 3,55-3,85; {F: 3,40-4,40} | | | | Rem.: | epipelagic - 1200 m.
For Vaupel Klein (1984, p.43) in spite some polymorphy in both E. pseudopulchra and E. pulchra, it seems justified to distinguish between these two forms. Characters which appear to provide unambiguous reference to either species thus are presence of a crest, and presence of the group I seta on basipodite 1 of Mxp (see figure 13). | | | Last update : 22/02/2021 | |
