[1] Pleuromamma abdominalis  (Lubbock, 1856)   (F,M)    [Figs]
Rem.: Oceanic. Epi-meso-bathypelagic. After Pearson (1906, p.24): vertical range down to near 4000 m. Considered as vertical migrator. Overall Depth Range in Sargasso Sea: 0-2000 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S"); ? Harding, 1974, off E Cape Cod (2000-1000 m). 0-457 m at Station S 2 in S Bösö (E middle Japan).
After Brinton & al., 1986 (p.246, Table 1); Wilson's (1950) Gulf of California records of P. robusta are probably based on misidentification of abdominalis.
For Fornshell & Ferrari (2010, p.763) the widespread distribution of morphs attribuable to forms typica and forma edentata, their co-occurrences, and the presence of specmens exhibiting morphologies incrementally graduated between the two forms, suggest that these two morphological forms of P. abdominalis are examples of a continuous variability within this species. Thus the authors do not believe that forma edentata should be treated as a subspecies of P. abdominalis. However it is important to continue to register the morphological variation among males of P. abdominalis. In situations where groups of females or males can be clearly categorized, they should be denoted simply as morphs.
After Lapernat & Razouls (2002, p.19) the Itoh's index value = 657.3 (number of teeth: 8) on the right Md, and 672.2 on the left Md (number of teeth: 8).
Timonin (1971, p.282) considers the trophic interrelations in the equatorial and tropical Indian Ocean, and divides the plankters into 6 trophic groups from the litterature and the results of studies of mouth-parts structure and intestine content. This species is omnivorous.
In vertical tow 4000-3000 m (Harding, 1974).
