Species Aetideopsis retusa - Plate 5 of morphological figuresAetideopsis retusa female:
1 - Endopod of P1 with external lobe.
2 - Posterior corners of last thoracic segment not wing-like, not divergent (dorsal view). Genital segment (dorsal view) barrel-like without lateral swellings.
3 - Crest absent. 1st and 2nd external spines of exopod segments 1 and 2 of P1 exceeding base of next spine.
4 - Endopod of P2 2-segmented (though separartion between segments may be incomplete). Points of last thioracic segment reaching the midlength of geniral segment (or exceeding it).
5 - Anterior part of cephalon (lateral view) fairly smoothly transforming into rostrum, not prominent over base of rostrum.

2 - Endopod of P1 with external lobe.
3 - Rostral rami spaced closely, slightly divergent.
4 - Genital segment no more than half shorter than urosomal segment 2. Body length < 3.0 mm.
