Species Calanopia sewelli - Plate 3 of morphological figures
Female:
1 - P5 exopod 2-segmented.
2 - Cephalic lateral hooks present.
3 - Genital compound somite nearly as long as 2nd urosomite.
4 - Caudal rami asymmetrical, right one with more concave medial margin; 2nd exopodal segment of P5 longer than first one.
