Espèce Scopalatum vorax - Planche 4 de figures morphologiquesissued from : F.D. Ferrari & D.K. Steinberg in Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 1993, 106 (3). [p.473, Fig.4].

Espèce Scopalatum vorax - Planche 5 de figures morphologiquesissue from : C.O. Esterly in Univ. Calif. Publs Zool., 1911, 6 (14). [Pl.27, Figs.15, 21]. As Scolecithrix vorax.
Female (from San Diego Region; from vertical haul: 0-100 m)): 15, forehead (lateral); 21, habitus (lateral).
Nota: Rostrum bifid, the prongs being stout, long and somewhat divergent. Cephalothorax 5-segmented and six and one-half times as long as the urosome. Abdomen 4-segmented. Genital segment more than twice the length of the others together; 2nd and 3 rd segments are of equal lengths and the anal is longer than the preceeding one. A1 23-segmented, do not reach back to the 1st thoracic segment. Exopod of A2 one and one-half times as long as the endopod and the bristles are very long and richly plumose.


Espèce Scopalatum vorax - Planche 6 de figures morphologiquesissue from : C.O. Esterly in Univ. Calif. Publs Zool., 1911, 6 (14). [Pl.29, Fig.45]. As Scolecithrix vorax.
Female: 45, last two thoracic segments and urosome.


Espèce Scopalatum vorax - Planche 7 de figures morphologiquesissue from : C.O. Esterly in Univ. Calif. Publs Zool., 1911, 6 (14). [Pl.30,, Fig.68]. As Scolecithrix vorax.
Female: 68, sensory appendages on Mx2.
Nota: Mx2 with 8 appendages: 3 vermiform, end in daisy-like expansions, and the other one is relatively of enormous size and terminates in a set of structures like tentacles; there is a central core in the larger appendage (not shown in the figure) that is surrounded by the tentacles. The 4 smaller flower-like appendages seem to have a similar structure.


Espèce Scopalatum vorax - Planche 8 de figures morphologiquesissue from : C.O. Esterly in Univ. Calif. Publs Zool., 1911, 6 (14). [Pl.31, Figs.93, 96, 99]. As Scolecithrix vorax.
Female: 93P2; 96, P5; 99, a part of the terminal bristle of the exopod of P2.
Nota: P5 with 2 segments, the end segment with 2 heavy spines of which the outer is the shorter.


Espèce Scopalatum vorax - Planche 9 de figures morphologiquesissued from : C.C. Davis in Univ. Wash. Publs Biol., 1949, n. ser. 14. [Pl.6, Figs.79-80]. As Amallophora vorax.
Female (from NE Pacific): 79, P5; 80, sensory appendages of apical lobe of Mx2.

Nota : Head and 1st thoracic segment fused, 4th and 5th segments fused (Esterly reports the 4th and 5th segments separate). Posterior corners of prosome rounded. Urosome very short, 1/5 the length of metasome (in Esterly as six and one half times the length of the urosome). Genital segment slightly longer than the three following segments combined. A1 23-segmented, do not reach to the posterior border of prosome. Mx2 with 3 vermiform appendages, 4 appendagges with ciliated terminal swellings, and 1 of enormous flower-like sensory appendage. P5 small, and although they are 3-segmented, the 2nd and 3rd segments partly fused (Esterly says they are 2-segmented).

Rem : The specimen agrees very closely with Esterly (1911), except that he reports the 4th and 5th thoracic segments of his species to be separate ; he also reports the urosome to be shorter in proportion to the metasome ; his specimen is also smaller (1.6 mm) ; P5 shows no trace of a division line between segments 2 and 3.

Si l'identification faite par de Deevey & Brooks (1977) est correcte, nous sommes probablement en présence d'un cas d'isolement consécutif à la fermeture de l'Isthme de Panama.
