Pseudochirella accepta  Zvereva, 1976   (F)
Ref.:
Zvereva, 1976 (p.200, Descr.F, figs.F); Bradford & Jillett, 1980 (p.66); Markhaseva, 1989 (p.39); Markhaseva, 1996 (p.255, figs.F)
Species Pseudochirella accepta - Plate 1 of morphological figuresissued from : E.L. Markhaseva in Trudy Zool. Inst. RAN, St. Petersburg, 1996, 268. [p.256, Fig.202].
Female (from NW Pacif.: Kuril Trench). Ce: forehead (lateral); CP4: coxopod of P4 (portion).


Species Pseudochirella accepta - Plate 2 of morphological figuresissued from : J.A. Zvereva in Crustaceana, 1976, 31 (2). [p.201, Figs.1-12].
Female (from S Bering Sea): 1, habitus (dorsal); 2, idem (right lateral side); 3, rostrum (frontal view); 4, A2; 5, Mx2; 6, Mxp; 7, P1; 8, P2; 9, P3; 9a, detail of terminal spine of P3; 10, P4; 11, inner edge of coxopod of P4; 12, genital somite (ventral).
Nota: Head without crest; 4th and 5th thoracic segments separate. Rostrum short, stout, non-bifid. A1 longer than the cephalothorax, reaches the distal margin of th 2nd urosomal segment. The inner ramus of A2 is about half the length of the external ramus. Urosome 4-segmented, covered with dense seta; every segment bears spinules on its distal margin. Genital segment asymmetrical (when observed from the right and above a swelling is visible; when seen from the left side a lobe with a forwardly directed spine is to be seen; the ventral prominence is rounded).

For Zvereva (1976, p.201) the species is closely related to P. pustulifera Sars (1905) and P. tuberculata Tanaka (1957).
