Cymbasoma tropicum (Wolfenden, 1905) (F,M) | |
| | | | | | Syn.: | Thaumaleus tropicus Wolfenden, 1905 (1906) (p.1025, figs.F); Cymbasoma nicobarica Sewell, 1949 (p.142, figs.M); Silas, 1972 (p.639); Cymbasoma tropica : Martin Thompson & Easterson, 1983 (p.176, figs.F,M, Rem.) | | | Ref.: | | | Sewell, 1949 (p.142, 144: Rem.); Desai & Krishnaswamy, 1962 (p.163, 165); Grygier, 1995 a (p.31, 51, 77, Rem.) | issued from : R.B.S. Sewell in The John Murray Expedition, 1933-34, Scientific Reports, IX (2), 1949. [p.143, Fig.40 A-D]. As Cymbasoma nicobarica. Male (Nankauri Harbour, Nicobar Is.): A, habitus (dorsal); B, urosome (ventral); C, A1; D, exopod of P4. Nota: Anterior border of the head rounded, with a pair of minute hairs or projections spring from the surface between the origins of A1. A pair of well-developed and deeply pigmented eyes. Genital segment oval in shape. Caudal rami widely divergent, each bears 4 setae, of which 3 arise from the distal end, while the 4th arises from a low rounded swemming on the posterior and inner margin, directed backwards. A1 about one-third of the body-length, 5-segmented (the line of separation of the 2nd and 3rd segments apparently incomplete; proportional lengths of the various segments as 15:22:12:26:25 = 100; there is a distinct hinge-joint between the 4th and 5th segments.

Distribution map of Cymbasoma tropicum by geographical zones
|
| | | | | | Loc: | | | Maldive Is., Bombay, Nicobar Is., Nankauri Harbour | | | N: | 3 | | | Lg.: | | | (78) F: 2; (662) M: 1,5; (782) F: 2,18-1,8; M: 1,44-1,22; {F: 1,80-2,18; M: 1,22-1,50} | | | Rem.: | in surface tow-net. According to Sewell (1949, p.144) it is possible that this is the unknown male of Wolfenden's species Cymbasoma tropicus, but it is impssible to reach any conclusion on this point. | | | Last update : 02/01/2015 | |
