Lg.:
(426) F: 1,1-1,06; M: 0,9-0,88; {F: 1,06-1,10; M: 0,88-1,06}

Closely related to Calocalanus adriaticus but differs from he latter by the form of body and caudal rami (in the former they are more elongated), the structure of urosome (3-segmented in the former and 2-segmented in the latter) and the armature of P5 (in the latter it has a large spine, stylet)..
