Mx2 strongly reduced in size and structure.
Mxp : Coxa with 1distal seta. Basis with 2 medial setae. Endopod 6-segmented, 1st segment with 1 seta, 2nd to 6th segments with 4, 3, 2+1, 2, and4 setae respectively.

Male: A-C, P1 to P3; D, P5.
Scale bar: 0.1 mm (A-D).

Nota : P5 uniramous and asymmetrical. Right and left exopod without seta and spine ; 3rd segment of right exopod spiniform, about 2.4 times longer than 2nd segment ; 3rd segment of left exopod forming a sharp process with 1 subdistal seta.


Species Bradyidius angustus - Plate 4 of morphological figuresissued from : B.-J. Lim, Song S.J. & Min G.-S. in Korean J. Syst. Zool., 2011, 27 (1). [p.42].
