Species Paivella inaciae - Plate 1 of morphological figuresIssued from : W. Vervoort in Atlantide Report, 1965, 8. [p.201, Fig.36]
Female (from off Nigeria): a, habitus (lateral right side); b, idem (dorsal).
Nota: Head and 1st thoracic somite fused, 4th and 5th fused. Proportional lengths of prosome and urosome as 17:5. Above the rostral base the pair of hairs of the frontal organ is clerly visible. Proportional lengths of abdominal somites and furca as 36:20:15:12:17 = 100. Caudal rami twice as long as wide; each ramus with 4 strong apical setae and a ventral appendicular seta, strongly curved. A1 23-segmented.


Species Paivella inaciae - Plate 2 of morphological figuresIssued from : W. Vervoort in Atlantide Report, 1965, 8. [p.203, Fig.37]
Female: a, anterior part cephalothorax (lateral); b, posterior part cephalothorax and abdomen (lateral right side); c, idem (dorsal); d, forehead (ventral).


Species Paivella inaciae - Plate 3 of morphological figuresIssued from : W. Vervoort in Atlantide Report, 1965, 8. [p.204, Fig.38]
Female: a, A1; b, A2; c, Md (mandibular palp); d, Mx2; e, Mxp.
Nota: Endopodite of A 2 2-segmented; small coxa with 1 internal seta; basis with 2 fine setae near the insertion of the endopodite; 2nd endopodal segment with 8 setae on the internal lobe and 6 plus 1 appendicular setae on the extarnal lobe. Basis and coxa of the mandibular palp with 2 strong, external, spiniform setae; endopodite 2-segmented with 2 setae on the 1st segment and 9 plus 1 appendicular on the 2nd segment; exopodite 5-segmented. Mx2 with 2 praecoxal and 2 coxal endites; the proximal three of these endites with 2 long setae and 1 short seta each; there is only asingle basipodal endite, bearing a considerably thickened, spinulose spine and 2 fine setae; apparently 3 endopodal segments, with a total of 6 setae. All endites, with the exception of that arising from the basis, are set with some rows of fine spinules. Coxa and basis of Mxp of about the same length; endopodite 5-segmented (setal formula: 4, 4, 3, 3 + 1 external, 4, respectively).


Species Paivella inaciae - Plate 4 of morphological figuresIssued from : W. Vervoort in Atlantide Report, 1965, 8. [p.206, Fig.39]
Female: a, P1; b, P2; c, P3; d, P4; e, Md (cutting edge); f, Mx1.
Nota: Praecoxal arthrite with 9 strong spiniform teeth and 4 fine setiform spines; epipodite of the coxa with 9 setae; coxal endite with 3 setae; basal endite with 4 setae; exite badly developed without seta; basipodite with 4 setae, one of which appears to be appendicular; endopodite indistinctly 3-segmented (setal formula: 2, 3, 5, respectively); exopodite small with 11 setae.


Species Paivella inaciae - Plate 5 of morphological figuresIssued from : W. Vervoort in Atlantide Report, 1965, 8. [p.207, Fig.40]
Male: a, habitus (dorsal); b, idem (lateral right side); c, posterior part cephalothorax with P5 and urosome (lateral right side).
Nota: Rostrum almost as in female, the points are slightly shorter. Urosome with 5 somites; The urosomal segments and furca in the proportional lengths 15:21:21:23:5: 15 = 100. Genital somite with genital slit on the left side.


Species Paivella inaciae - Plate 6 of morphological figuresIssued from : W. Vervoort in Atlantide Report, 1965, 8. [p.209, Fig.41]
Male: a-b, A1; c, Mx1; d, Mxp; e, P1; f, P2; g, P4; h, P5 (l = left leg; r = right leg); i, apex of left P5.
Nota: mandibular palp almost as in female, but setae densely plumose. Mx1 reduced; praecoxal arthrite as a more or less triangular structure, without setae or spines; coxal endite absent; coxal exite (epipodite) with 5 long, plumose setae; basal endite with 2 nude setae; exite absent; basipodite with 3 fine setae; endopodite reduced and indistinctly 3-segmented, with 3 normal and 5 or 6 fine setae; exopodite normally developed with 10 long plumose setae. Mx2 strongly reduced. The fifth legs both uniramose. P1 to P4 as in female but for the following differences; 1- P1: the 1st and 2nd exopodal segments completely fused; 2- P2: The endopodite has an incomplete segmentation in its proximal part; 3- P4: There are no spinules on the posterior aspect of the coxa, there is no seta at the internal margin of the coxa and the internal chitinized ridge is small (p.210).
