A2 with small 7-segmented exopod attached near base basis (this limb not quite as slender as in H. oxycephalus).
Mx2 and Mxp like those of H. oxycephalus.
P1-4 like those of H. oxycephalus. ''Glandular pores'' (also present in H. oxycephalus) occur on swimming legs. Extra pore on a 2nd exopodal segment of P3 and a 3rd exopodal segment of P4.
Terminal exopodal spine in H. ocellatus proportionally shorter with respect to 3rd exopodal segment segment than in H. oxycephalus. All exopod external spines bordered with minute teeth.

Mx1 very like that of H. oxycephalus and not as in Vervoort (1957). Only observable difference was in number of setae on terminal part of endopod: H. oxycephalus has 3 large and 2 small setae, whereas H. ocellatus bears 3 small and 1 large setae

Female (from Ross Sea): 109, left Md (edge of gnathobase); 110, right Md (edge of gnathobase).
Scale bar: 100 µm.


Species Haloptilus ocellatus - Plate 9 of morphological figuresIssued from : O. Tanaka in Spec. Publs. Seto mar. biol. Lab., 10, 1960 [Pl. XXIV, 1-5].
Female (from 67°03'S, 40°44'E): 1, forehead (dorsal); 2, abdomen (dorsal); 3, Md (palp and gnathobase); 4, Mx1; 5, P5.
Same scale in figs. 3, 4 and 5.

Nota: The characteristic black eye spot on the back was not observed in the specimen. The body was soft-skined and hyaline.

Distribution map of Haloptilus ocellatus by geographical zones
Species Haloptilus ocellatus - Distribution map 3issued from A. de C. Baker in 'Discovery' Rep., 1954, 27. [p.215, Fig.5].
Occurrence of Haloptilus ocellatus in all longitudes around Antarctic zone of the Southern Ocean.
The percentage frequency of occurrence in samples taken within every 20° of longitude.

Nota: During the 'Discovery' investigations some thousands of plankton samples have been taken from stations spread over the whole of the Southern Ocean at all seasons of the year, the majority south of the Antarctic Convergence. An arbitrary selection of samples has been made from hauls between the surface and a depth of 250 m, which means that they have been taken from within the limits of the Antarctic surface water.

Krupnik, M.A. Lang and S.E. Miller, eds., Publs. by Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press, Washington DC., 2009. [p.165, Fig.1]

Species Haloptilus ocellatus - Distribution map 5Issued from : J.H.M. Kouwenberg, C. Razouls & N. Desreumaux in Biogeographic Atlas of the Southern Ocean, Scient. Comm. Antarct. Res., Cambridge, 2014, 6.6. [p.291, Map 5].
Distribution of Haloptilus ocellatus.
Loc:
Antarct. (Croker Passage, Peninsula, Weddell Sea, SW Atlant., Indian, SW & SE Pacif., Ross Sea, Prydz Bay), South Georgia, sub-Antarct. (SW & SE Pacif.), Atlant. (SW & SE)
N: 37
Lg.:
(25) F: 8,55-7,2; (35) F: 8,5-8,2; (66) F: ± 7,9; (102): F: 8,3; M: 4,1; (312) F: 8,55-7,95; {F: 7,20-8,55; M: 4,10}
Rem.: epi-mesopelagic. Known to occur in the uppermost 100 m and down to below 500 m (Matthews, 1972). Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.): 50-1000 m.
For Vervoort (1951, p.144) the black eye spot on the back; the exceptional size (8.2-8.5 mm) and the pointed forehead make the species recognizable at a glance; in the living state the animal is perfectly hyaline and the black spot on the back is the only visible part of the body. It is usually found in hauls made in superficial waters; it occurs in two surface night hauls made in ice covered sea (66°58'S, 16°03'.5W)
For Park (1988, p.8) this species is characteristic Antractic circumpolar. See remarks in Park (1980, p.12, 14). to H. oxycephalus
