Female (Mallorca, Balearic Islands): A, habitus (lateral); B, rostrum (frontal view); C, urosome (lateral); D, genital double-somite (ventral); E, detail of right caudal ramus (lateral). Nota: Ryes absent. - Body compact, with prosome laterally compressed. - Rostrum movable, tapering, with pair of apical filaments. - 1st pedigerous somite incorporated into cephalosome, 4th and 5th pedigerous somites completely fused. - Sensillae distributed on prosome (as figured). - Urosome 4-segmented with surface of somites richly ornamented with both ordinary and lamellar spinules (latter easily lost when manipulating animals). - Genital double somite symmetrical. Internal genital system not fully resolved: both seminal receptacles developed, forming dorsal lobe at each side, with serpentiform receptacle ducts; pair of oviducts emptying into separate gonopores also discerned. Ducts and gonopores opening into common mid-sentral atrium closed off to quadrangular operculum. 2 sac-like sclerotized folds similar to those displayed by Crassarietellus huysi (see Ohtsuka & al., 1994, fig.2a) positioned ventro-laterally near anterior margin of double-somite. Nota Male: Body similar to female except for segmentation and armature of A1 and armature of P4, morphology of P5. Urosome 5-segmentred. Genital somite slightly asymmetrical, with single, left gonopore opening posterolaterally on ventral side.

Coxa unarmed, with patch of long spinules among inner margin; basis completely fused to 1st endopd segment (forming elongate allobasis), 2 groups of 2 setae positioned along inner margin; free endopod segment elongate, bilobed, inner lobe (corresponding to ancestral endopod segment II) with 9 setae, outer lobe (corresponding to ancestral segments III-IV) with 7 distal setae; several combs of long spinules (as figured 4A). Exopod 6-segmented (segment 2 representing ancestral segments II-IV, plus partially incorporated segment V, segment 6 representing partially incorporated ancestral segment IX, elongate, bearring reduced seta) and X bearing 3 setae; exopod segmentation and setal formula 0, (0+1), 1, 1, 1, (1+3). Segmental homology deducted after comparison with segmental pattern and armature of Stygocyclopia philippinensis Jaume & al., 1999.

Nota: Md with short, heavily built coxal gnathobase; cutting blade with major group of 4 triangular teeth , plus complex array of serrate teeth and spines dorsally. Md palp with basis expanded, bearing 2 long plus 1 reduced setae on inner margin plus patch of spinules proximally. Endopod aligned with main axis of basis, shorter than exopod, 2-segmented; 1st segment with single seta plus patch of tiny spinules; 2nd with 11 distal setae (2 of them reduced), and comb of long spinules. Exopod apparently 4-segmented (but close analysis revealing partial fusion between proximal segment, somewhat spirally configured, and 2nd and 3rd segments, resulting in actual 2-segmented conditions); setal formula (1+1+1), 3; distal segment derived from ancestral segments IV and V . (see Huys & Boxshall, 1991, p.24). - Mx2 comprising syncoxa, allobasis, and unsegmented endopod. Proximal syncoxal endite with 5 long marginal setae plus short, hyaline spiniform process; remaining syncoxal endites each with 3 setae, one of them shorter, plus bub-marginal row of spinules; soft process of uncertain homology between proximal and 2nd endite. Basal endite carrying 2 syout spines plus 2 more slender elements distally; tiny seta remnant of incorporated endopodal segment close to insertion of free endopod. Free endopod short, bearing 7 unequal setae.

Distribution map of Thompsonopia mediterranea by geographical zones

| | | | | | Loc: | | | W Medit.: Baleares (Mallorca: Cova de Na Mitjana) | | | N: | 1 | | | Lg.: | | | (837) F: 0,88; M: 0,76; {F: 0,88; M: 0,76} | | | Rem.: | For Jaume & al. (1999, p.403) this species differs from T. stephoides from the North Sea and the coasts of Mauritania in the absence of the spiniform processes on the inner margin of the two proximal segments of the female P5. The right male P5 of the latter taxon has segments 3 and 4 completely fused, and segment 5 extremely elongate and bent; the right leg segment 4 is more elongate and constricted halfway compared to that of T. mediterranea. | | | Last update : 02/11/2015 | |
