After Björnberg (1963, p.59) this species was described by F. Dahl (1894) from samples taken at the Amazon River's mouth. Farran (1929, p.276) registered it under the name of L. brasiliense from samples taken off Rio de Janeiro; the only difference between the animals described by Dahl and by Farran is the proportion between the length of the exopodite and the endopodite of the P5 female (3 times as long as the endopodite in Farran's description, 1 and a half times as long in Dahl's); in the Björnberg's samples, all the intermediate lengths are found.
The form Labidocera brasiliensis cited as a synonym is not admitted by all authors (Gaudy, 1963, p. 28).
Diagnosis for L. fluviatilis in the 'darwinii' species group after Prusova & Al-Yamani (2014, p.1165) :
Females:
- 1: Urosome of 2 somites.
- 2: Genital somite symmetrical.
- 3: Exopod of symmetrical P5 with 2 terminal points.
Males:
- 1: Urosome of 4 somites.
- 2: Left P5 endopod about half the length of exopodal segment 1.
Ben Ltaief & al. (2017 (p.11, Table III) note the first record of this species in the Mediterranean Sea (Tunisia: Gulf of Gabes) | | | Last update : 12/02/2021 | |
