Female (from Japan): A, pedigers 2-5 (p) and urosome (u), lateral.

Male: B, pedigers 3-5 (p) and urosome (u), lateral (P5 arrowed).

Nota: In female, the dorsal and lateral sides of the last three prosomites (pedigers 2-5) are covered with minute spinules, which may function in helping the male to grasp the female, as in the Cala,idae (Tsuda & Miller, 1998). These spinules are completely lacking in the male. The Mxp is relatively shorter in the male than in the female, and the plumose setae on the basis and endopod are much better developed in the male. The inwardly directed plumose on the basis and endopod of the male Mxp may function in grasping, whereas outwardly directed setae on the 5th and 6th endopodal segments may play a restricted role in generating a scanning current, togeher with the other appendages of the head.

Female: 3, habitus (dorsal); 5, Md; 6, Mx1.
Nota: Forehead triangular, aand sometimes indented on each side.1 segment between the anal and genital segments which is longer than its broad. 1st segment of endopodite of A2 is 4 times as long as its broad, and longer than the 2nd segment. Inner margin of the 2nd segment of basipodite of Md divided into approximately equal portions by the insertion of the endopodite; 2nd segment of endopodite with 4 setae on its apex. Mx1 with 2nd lobe present; 2nd segment of basipodite with 5 inner marginal setae.

Species Pareucalanus attenuatus - Plate 17 of morphological figuresissued from : S. Ohtsuka & R. Huys in Hydrobiologia, 2001, 453/454. [p.459, Fig.1]. As Eucalanus attenuatus.
Female from Japan): A, labrum; C, dorsal wall of filter basket between maxillae (ma) and maxillipeds (mp).

Male (from Japan): B, labrum (1) and paragnath (p); D, dorsal wall of filter basket between maxillae (ma) and maxillipeds (mp).

Scale bars: 0.1 mm.

Nota: On the ventral integumental wall between Mx2 and Mxp of female, fine spinules and setules are present. These are lacking in the non feeding male. Probably these structures reduce leakage of particles captured within the 'filter basket'. The posterior margin of the labrum in the female bears short, stout spinules directed toward the oesophagus, whereas that of the non-feeding male is naked. This presumably also plays a role in reducing leakage of food particles during chewing with the mandibular gnathobases. Example of seexual trophic dimorphism.

Nota: This category includes E. attenuatus s.s. and E. sewelli s.s. Percentage in the samples from the cruise: 2.6 (day: 2.9, night: 2.2). Distributed mainly between 25 and 100 m. Their vertical distribution was mainly confined to depths above 100 m at stations 14-16 (see chart 1 in Subeucalanus subtenuis), they appeared only in the surface between 18°N and 20°N. The distribution of males and females was similar, but the females were more numerous.. At the mouth of the Gulf of California they were found only between 25 and 75 m at station 10.
The maximum concentration was 30,700 individuals /1000 m3.The species were not observed in samples from the oxygen-deficient layer or from stations near Mexico.

Rem.: The analysis of tegumentary structures leads Fleminger (1973) to restrain the diagnosis of this form, and to this fact the geographic distribution.
This species has been confused with Eucalanus parki of greater dimension and with E. sewelli of which it only differs slightly by the form of the head (cf. in Bradford-Grieve, 1994: fig.44: B).
Giesbrecht (1892) reports the species north of the Cape Verde Islands, Wolfenden (1911) near the Azores, Fish (1962, p.3, 10), Sander & Moore (1978, p.232) et Deevey (1960, p.16) report it (without morphological specification) from Barbados and outside the Bay of Delaware and refers to the work of Wilson (1932 a, p.32) off Woods Hole, for whom the synonymy remains to specify. It is also reported from the Antilles, Caribbean Colombia by Medellin-Mora & Navas S. (2010, p.278, Tab. 2) and the Gulf of Mexico by Park (1970), from Cariaco Basin (Venezuela) by Cercigon (1962), at Jamaica by Weber and Roff (1995), Hopcroft & al., 1998 (tab.2), the Florida Current by Owre (1962, p.491) and Owre & Foyo (1967, p.35, Rem.), off Cap Cod (in Harding, 1974 (p.141, tab.2); off Bermuda par Deevey, (1971); in the Delaware Bay by Deevey (1960); off SE Nova Scotia in Sameoto (1984)); Neto & Paiva (1966) In Angola (Baia Farta); Vervoort (1963 b) in the Gulf of Guinea, Bainbridge (1972, p.91) and Bowman (1971 b, p.5), Binet & al., 1972 (p.68); in the Gulf of Maine by Bigelow (1926, p.228), off Nova Scotia by Sameoto & al., 2002 (p.12) and already by Sars (1925, p.21) at the Azores and Pearson (1906, p.7) and Farran (1908 b) West of Ireland, by Seguin (1966, p.37) near Dakar, At the east Sicilia (Milazzo) by Guglielmo (1973); at the Canary Islands by Roe (1972) and Corral Estrada & Pereiro Muñoz, 1974 (tab.I); by Vives & al. (1975), (1982) in the Ibero-Moroccan Bay. In the Brazilian Current by Berasategui & al., 2005 (p.485, tab.1) and Berasategui & al. (2006). These Atlantic localisations are not held provisionally, the same as those of Mazza, 1967 (p. 67) in the northwestern Mediterranean; Soenen (1969, p.61) in the southwestern Mediterranean; Duran, 1963 (p.12); Seguin & al., 1993 (p.23) in the Alboran Sea; Vives (1971, p.162; 2007 p.873) in the Catalan Sea; Gilabert & Moreno, 1998 (tab.1, 2) at the Balearic Islands; Vaissière & Séguin, 1980 (p.23, tab.2) in the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas; Scotto di Carlo & Ianora, 1983 (p.150) in the Levantine Basin; Scotto di Carlo & al.

Greze, 1963 a (tab.2) in the Ionian Sea; Apostolopoulou (1972), Siokou-Frangou (1997), Moraitou-Apostolopoulou & al. (2000), Isari & al. (2006) in the Aegean Sea; El-Maghraby, 1965 at the Egyptian coast; Dowidar & El-Maghraby, 1970; Salah, 1971 at Alexandria; Scotto di Carlo & al., 1991 (p.271), Licandro & Icardi (2009) in the Mediterranean. Uysal & Shmeleva (2012 (p.919, Table I) report this species in the Turquish coast (northern Levantin Basin) and Belmonte & al. (2013) at Taranto (south Italy), and probably in Benedetti & al. (2016, p.162: Table 1) and Chaouadi & Hafferssas, 2018 (p.913, Table II). The observation in the Red Sea by Delalo, 1966 (1968, p. 137) is possible.
It is very difficult in the actual state to count the number of certainty citations (10) compared to the number of citations (78) for the Indo-Pacific and 301 in total. A serious doubt subsists on certain identifications in the Indian Ocean. The dimensions given by Roe (1972): F: 4,33-6,4; M: 3,04-5,6 seem to confirm a mixture of various species.
Timonin (1971, p.282) considers the trophic interrelations in the equatorial and tropical Indian Ocean, and divides the plankters into 6 trophic groups from the litterature and the results of studies of mouth-parts structure and intestine content. This species is a coarse-filter feeder.
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 3 corresponding to large filter feeding herbivorous.
The data given by the CPR (2004, p. 59, fig. 174) need confirmation.
