| | | | | | | Ref.: | | | Grice, 1973 (p.943, Descr.F, figs.F); Park, 2000 (p.8, Rem.) |  issued from : G.D. Grice in Bull; Mar. Sci., 1973, 23 (4). [p.944, Fig.1-9]. Female (25°10'N, 77°25'W): 1, habitus (left lateral side); 2, head (left latera view); 3, anterior end of head (ventral); 4, posterior end of prosome and urosome (dorsal); 5, idem (left lateral side); 6, A1; 7, Md; 8, masticatory edge of Md; 9, Mx1. Nota: A1 25-segmented, reaching to 2nd urosomal segment; distal segments more elongate than proximal ones. A2 with elongate endopodal setae reaching to 4th pedigerous somite; exopod less than 1/2 length of endopod. Md with small palp; exopod 1-segmented, endopod 2-segmented. Md blade with several large pointed teeth. Mx1 with enlarged 1st inner lobe bearing 11 spines and setae; inner lobes 2 and 3 bear 1 and 3 setae, respectively; 2nd basal segment with 1, endopod with 3, and exopod with 6 setae, respectively.

Distribution map of Alrhabdus johrdeae by geographical zones
|
| | | | Loc: | | | NW Atlant (off Bahamas) | | | | N: | 1 | | | | Lg.: | | | ? (No indicated) | | | | Rem.: | hyperbenthic (bathypelagic). Sampling depth 1733 m.
Until a male is found, it seems better to provisionally refer Alrhabdus to the Heterorhabdidae (Grice, 1973, p.946). Boxshall & Halsey (p.2004, p.68) include the genus as incertae sedis in Augaptilidae. | | | Last update : 20/02/2015 | |
