 Issued from : R.B.S. Sewell in Spolia Zeylanica, 1914, 9. [Pl.XIX, Figs.8-9]. Female (from Gulf of Mannar): 9, P5. Nota: Head and 1st thoracic segment separate, 4th and 5th fused. Posterior thoracic margin rounded and devoid of spines. Forehead with a pair of slender curved rostral filaments. Proportional lengths of prosome and urosome 35:1. Proportional lengths of urosomites and furca 26:13:10:15; all segments devoid of any spines. Caudal rami nearly as wide as long (9:10). A1 20-segmented (segments 2-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10 fused) reach just beyond the posterior thoracic margin. P5 consist of a fairly long basal segment bearing 1 minute seta on its external margin distally, and having a long and delicate terminal spine, this spine is curved and has a markedly swollen base. Male: 8, P5. Nota: Proportional lengths of prosome and urosome 4:1. Proportional lengths of urosomites and furca 18:14:3:9:10. Right A1 15-segmented (segments 1-4, 5-6, 7-8, 19-21, 22-25 fused) modified to form a grasping organ. P5: the right leg forms a claw, the 2nd segment bears a somewhat quadrangular process on its inner border, and the 3rd segment terminates in 2 short unequal spines.

Salinity ranges for A. southwelli in coastal and estuarine waters of Goa (India).
Shaded area indicates the range of higher abundance. |
| | | | Loc: | | | India ( Saurashtra coast, S, Cochin, G. of Mannar, Sri Lanka Pearl Banks, Chilka Lake), Bay of Bengal, China (Bohai Sea) | | | | N: | 13 | | | | Lg.: | | | (44) F: 0,773; M: 0,68; (80) F: 0,726; M: 0,712; (82) F: 0,8; M: 0,75; (186) F: 0,84-0,79; M: 0,75-0,7; {F: 0,73-0,84; M: 0,68-0,75} | | | | Rem.: | estuary-neritic.
The dimensions seem to be correlated with the salinity.
W. Zhang confirms the occurence of this species in the China seas (in the Bohai Sea, 2010).
For Ohtsuka & al. (1995, p.158) A. southwelli, as Bestiolina similis and Pseudodiaptomus marinus belong to the Indo-West Pacific warm-water element which is thought to have derived directly from the Tethys fauna (see in Nishimura, 1981). These copepods seem prefer relatively high salinities. | | | Last update : 23/06/2012 | |
