Distribution map of Macandrewella omorii by geographical zones
Loc:
SW Okinawa (off Kume Shima Is., off Tokashiki Shima Is.)
N: 1
Lg.:
(903) F: 3,32-3,54; M: 3,38-3,62; 3,53-4,05; {F: 3,32-3,54; M: 3,38-4,05}
Rem.: hyperbenthic.
For Ohtsuka & al. (2002, p.552) this species is similar to M. joanae A. Scott, 1909 and M. asymmetrica Farran, 1936 in sharing the following characters: 1- the elongate linguiform genital operculum of the female; 2- the terminal segment of the right exopod of the male P5 with a stout outer middle process; 3- the large subterminal outer process on the 2nd exopodal segment of the male left P5. The female of M. joanae bears a distinct P5, whereazs it is lacking in M. omorii and M. asymmetrica.
