Species Chiridiella brooksi - Plate 5 of morphological figures
Chiridiella brooksi female:
1 - Mx2 with 5 endites.
2 - Mx2 strongly modified in comparison with typical; first-fifth endites of varying size; Setation is not typical, some number of setae on third-fifth endites transformed into pincers-like spines.
3 - Setae of third and fourth endites of Mx2 arranged like pincers.
4 - Exopod of P1 with 1 external spine. A1 longer than body.

1 - 3rd and 4th lobes of Mx2 each with pincer arrangement.
2 - A1 longer than body.
