Species Paraeuchaeta gracilicauda - Distribution map 3issued from : T. Park in Hydrobiologia 292/293, 1994. [Fig. 3, p.327]. Geographical distribution of Paraeuchaeta gracilicauda (lozange).
Loc:
G. du Mexique, Mer des Caraïbes, Indonésie-Malaisie, Philippines, mers de Chine (South China Sea), Mer du Corail, Pacif (tropical), Mer de Tasman, Basse Californie, Amér. centrale
N: 3
Lg.:
(3) F: 7,9-6,2; M: 6,5-6,2; (5) F: 7; (19) F: 6,0-6,41; M: 6,35-6,41; {F: 6,00-7,90; M: 6,20-6,50}
Rem.: For Park (1975 c, p.16) the record from the Indian Ocean by Sewell (1929) seems to be not referable to this species, as the record by Grice & Hulsemann (1968) from the eastern South Pacific.
