Chart showing the geographical distribution (white triangle) in the seas surrounding the Antarctic continent.
Nota: In this chart the area frequented by whaling vessels has been hatched. The Antarctic circle (66°.5 S) has been drawn as a broken line. The numbers I to VI refer to the sectors into which the Antarctic seas are divided according to Mackintosh (1942) (after Vervoort, 1951). |

Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.) : 0-3000 m.
For Park (1995, p.78) the female of this species can be readily diagnosed by its characteristic genital soite. The male is so close morphologically to those of the other species of the Group that its identification requires careful examination of certain characters. The most useful are the flat anterior margin of the rostrum, a single conical process on the posterior margin od the 1st exopodal segment of the left P5, the elongate, spiniform distal process of the serrated lamella of the left P5.
Park (1995) found the species in the eastern and western regions of the South Atlantic between 30°S and 36°S, south of New Caledonia and the Tasman Sea between 25°S and 50°S, and the western Indian Ocean between 25°S and 35°S. According to these and previous records, this species seems to be restricted in distribution to four isolated areas. | | | Last update : 07/12/2020 | |
