Distribution map of Stygocyclopia philippensis by geographical zones
|
| | | | Loc: | | | Philippines (Panglao Is.: Calingoob Cave) | | | | N: | 1 | | | | Lg.: | | | (837) F: 0,57-0,61; M: 0,52-0,55; {F: 0,57-0,61; M: 0,52-0,55} | | | | Rem.: | For Jaume & al. (1999, p.414) this species shows apparent differences, such as the 23-segmented condition of the female A1 compared to only 22-segmented in S. balearica, the presence of 9 setae on the inner lobe of the distal endopod segment of A2 (only 7 in S. balearica), the presence of 7 setae on the coxal epipodite, and of 12 on the endopod of Mx1 (6 and 11, respectively, in S. balearica), the presence of 4 setae on the proximal endopod segment and of 6 on the proximal syncoxal endite of Mx2 (only3 and 5, respectively, in S. balearica), and the armature of the 2nd endopod segment of Mxp (4 setae rather than only 3 in S. balearica) are largely the result of inaccuracy in the original description of the latter taxon by Jaume & Boxshall, 1995. The segmentation of the mandibular exopod in S. balearica is reinterpreted here as 3-segmented as in S. philippinensis rather than 4-segmented. The similarities are sufficient to justify its accomodation of S. pholippinensis in this genus. | | | Last update : 02/11/2015 | |
