Species Euaugaptilus quaesitus - Plate 1 of morphological figuresissued from : G.D. Grice & K. Huisemann in Proc. U.S. natn. Mus., 1967, 122 (3583). [p.59, Figs.204-208; p.60, Fig.209].
Female (from Indian Ocean: 204, habitus (lateral right side); 205, forehead (lateral); 206, Md (biting edge); 207, Mx1; 208, P1; 209, P5.

Nota: Head and 1st thoracic segment separate, 4th and 5th fused. Genital segment longer than the 2 following combined. Rostrum consisting of 2 points, rostral filaments absent. A1 barely reaching furca. Exopod of A2 8-segmented, segments 7 and 8 incompletely separated, exopod and endopod of equal length. Mandible blade with 2 widely separated strong teeth and 1 slender tooth near the seta. 1st inner lobe of Mx1 with 4 spines; 2nd and 3rd inner lobes absent; fused 2nd basipodal segment and endopod with 1 seta; exopod with 5 setae, the two terminal ones largest; external lobe with 3 setae of equal length. Number of setae on lobes 1-6 of Mx2: 2, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, respectively. Number of setae on lobes 1-5 of Mxp: 0, 3, 3, 2, 2, respectively. Exopod of P1 consisting of 3 segments, endopod of 2 segments.

Distribution map of Euaugaptilus quaesitus by geographical zones
Loc:
NW Indian (10°04'N, 64°59'E)
N: 1
Lg.:
(67) F: 1,4; {F: 1,40}
Rem.: bathy-abyssopelagic. Recorded at a depth between 275 and 2250 m (Matthews, 1972).
For Grice & Hulsemann (1967, p.34) this species resembles E. fundatus and close to E. hecticus. E. quaesitus differs from E. humilis in its shorter A1 and the structure of Md and Mx1.
