| | [5] Pseudocyclopia minor T. Scott, 1892 (F,M) [Figs] | |
| | Rem.: | This form is considered as incertae sedis by Jaume & al. (1999, p.405). This form does not fit into the diagnosis of the genus. Even though it apparently exhibits a 17-segmented A1, with a segmentation pattern similar to that of Pseudocyclopia, its other characters are very peculiar. For example, one of the male P5 (Scott 1892, did not state precisely which one) is biramous, the proximal compound segment of A1 possesses a hook-like process, and the P1 display both an outer basal spine and only 4 setae on the endopod. The biramous condition of the male P5 is especially notable since all other Pseudocyclopiids have uniramous legs;
Likely, P5 male is incomplete in the Scott's drawing and only the left leg observe, nevertheless the size is very small in the genus. (C.R.) |

Diagnosis after Jaume, Fosshagen & Iliffe in Sarsia, 1999, 84. :
Pseudocyclopiidae.
- Rostrum pointed, movable, not fused to cephalon, with 2 terminal filaments.
- A1 of both sexes 20-segmented, displaying characterisyic compound segment X-XIV.
- Female A1 with segment I completely incorporated into II-IV, and with segments XXII and XXIII separate.
- Male A1 with segment I separate ; articulation between segments XXII and XXIII partially expressed in right A1, not expressed in left ; quadrithek on segment VII.
- 1st A2 endopod segment fully incorporated into basis.
- Mx2 endopod unsegmented.
- P1 withouter basal spine ; endopod with 5 setae.
- 1st exopod segment of P3 lacking accessory spine on outer margin.
- P4 armature sexually dimorphic ; with male lacking inner coxal spine and with 2 proximal segments of endopod bearing ordinary setae ; those of female bearing inner coxal spine and with armature on 2 proximal endopod segments reansformed into robust spines.
- Female P5 3-segmented, uniramous, each ending in 3 points.
- Male P5 asymmetrical, uniramous, with basis of left leg swollen posteriorly ; right leg elongate, filiform.
- Female genital double-somite symmetrical.
Remarks: The sexual dimorphism involving the expression of the articulation between segment 1 and compound segment II-IV in the males of the new genus deserves a comment here. Whereas this state is manifested in the new species (T. mediterranea) and also in T. stephoides, both Thompson (1895) and Sras (1901-1903) described the male antennules of T. stephoides as being similar to the female, except they did not figure them. Examination of material of this species from other Norwegian localities has demonstrated that the articulation is fully expressed in the males. The same is also possibly true for the males of T. muranoi since Ohtsuka (1992) did not figure the male antennules. |
