| Ryocalanidae Andronov, 1974 ( Ryocalanoidea ) | |
| | | (1) Ryocalanus Tanaka, 1956 | |
| | Rem.: | Brodsky (1980: pers. comm.) indicates that Ryocalanus should be spelled as Riocalanus.
Type: Ryocalanus infelix Tanaka,1956.
Following the redefinition of the genus by Renz & al (2013) the number of species is 4 . Total (2018): 5 spp.
Diagnosis after Renz, Markhaseva & Schulz (2013, p.255) :
- Body length > 1.6 mm.
- Urosome very short.
- Rostrum 1-pointed.
- P1 endopod with proximal inner wedge-shaped projection.
- Male right A1 moderately modified.
- Male P5 uniramous, containing terminal spines on the distal exopod segments.
Key oto species after Boxshall & Halsey (2004, p.184) (modified, Ryocalanus brasilianus not included) :
1- Rostrum simple, tapering to point
.. 2.
1 Rostrum bifid
.. other genus (Yrocalanus.
2 - Lateral margins of 5th pedigerous somite rounded ; 1st exopodal segment of male P5 armed with 1 outer spine and ornamented with several fine hair-like setules
.. R. bowmani.
2 - Lateral margins of 5th pedigerous somite produced into posteriorly directed spinous processes, readily visible in lateral view
3 ;
3 5th pedigerous somite of female ornamented ventrally with 12 long spinules on each side ; Mx1 with 9 setae on coxal epipodite and 4 setae on coxal endite ; female P4 with 9 large robust spinules on posterior surface of coxa
R. spinifrons.
3 5th pedigerous somite of female ornamented ventrally with row of short spinules on each side ; Mx1 with 6 setae on coxal epipodite and 5 setae on coxal endite ; male P5 without external spine on 1st exopodal segment
R. infelix.
Nota: The A2 exopod to endopod ratio is 0.82 in R. squamatus (Renz & al., 2018, p.12), while in all other species it is close to 1, a character hypothesized to be diagnostic for the genus Ryocalanus (Renz & al., 2013). |
