Species Paraeuchaeta sarsi - Plate 1 of morphological figuresissued from : T. Park in Bull. Scripps Inst. Oceanogr. Univ. California, San Diego, 1995, 29. [p.147, Fig.37].

Genital prominence in lateral view high and directed downward; its is narrower in small individualks. Ventral margin of genital flange emarginate; posterior lobe of the flange is well defined. Posterior edge of genital field only slightly produced to form a low and wide ridge. Posterior margin of genital prpminence sloping onto posterior ventral wall of somite.
Cephalosomal appendages similar to those of P. malayensis except that outer lobe of Mx1 with 5 long setae in addition to 1 small and 2 or 3 minute setae proximally.

This female is very similar to P. californica, P. regalis, P. polita and P. simulantis, but can be distinguished by the number of setae on Mx1 and details of the genital segment.

Male: G, Prosome and 1st and 2nd urosomal segments (lateral right side); H, exopod segment 3 of P2; I, P5; J, medial view of terminal part of left P5 exopod (digitiform process missing on this specimen). Nota:

The mean female size is 9.028 mm (n = 25; SD = 1.0268), and the mean male size is 7.679 mm (n = 14; SD = 0.7726). The size ratio (male : female) is 0.851 (n = 8; SD = 0.0655), or ± 85 %.
Rem.: bathypelagic.
Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.) : 0-600-4000 m.
For Farran (1908b, p.42) this species is undoubtedly the E. barbata of Wolfenden and possibly also that of Sars (1903), although the size given by the latter (12 mm) is rather larger, and the proportionate lengths of the caudal setae not quite the same; the figure of the genital segment is also slightly different.
For Vervoort (1957, p.84) the male recorded by A. Scott from the Malay Archipelago as P. dentata, very probably represents the male of P. sarsi.
Park (1995, p.49) found this species widely in the Atlantic between 65°N and 36°S, in the South Pacific between 35°S and 49°S, the Malay Archipelago, the East China Sea, off southern Japan, and the tropical eastern Indian Ocean.
