Por in Crusraceana, 1979, 37 (1). [p.15, Figs.1-8]. Female (from Di Zahav pool, Gulf of Elat): 1, urosome (ventral); 2, rostrum; 4, A2; 5, Md; 6, Mx1; 7, Mx2; 8, Mxp. Nota: Urosome 4-segmented, with last segment completely hidden under the peniltimate segment. Genital segment with a lateral, curved spine on the right side. Caudal rami2 times as long as broad and bear some setae on the distal part of their internal edges; there are 4 terminal setae and 1 spine in the external corner; 1 surface seta. A1 25-segmented, without groups of hairs on segments 7 to 13. Exopod of A2 8-segmented. Md with exopod 4-segmented and unclearly 3-segmented endopod. Basal segment of Mxp with 1 terminal seta. Male: 3, left A1; Nota: left A1 21-segmented, slightly genicukated between segments 18 and 19, segment 11 reduced; there is no serrulate lamina on the first of the four terminal segments, as found by Ummerkutty (1963); right A1 25-segmented (as in the female).

 issued from : F.D. Por in Crusraceana, 1979, 37 (1). [p.17, Figs.14-17]. With doubt. Male: 14, P5; 15, left P5 (other specimen); 16, idem (other specimen); 17, P5 (from Suez Canal specimen).

 issued from : F.D. Por in Crusraceana, 1979, 37 (1). [Pl.2, Fig.62]. Female: last segments of exopod and endopod on P3 with \"tympani\"-like orifices on the anterior surface (Scanning electrom micrographs).

issued from : F.D. Por in Crusraceana, 1979, 37 (1). [Pl.3, Fig.63]. Female: last segment of endopod on P3 with \"tympanum\"-like orifice on the anterior surface (Scanning electrom micrographs).

 issued from : F.D. Por in Crusraceana, 1979, 37 (1). [Pl.4, Fig.65]. Male: orifice, surrounded by spines on the terminal surface of exopod of P5 (Scanning electrom micrographs).

 issued from : A.N.P. Ummerkutty in Bull. Dep. mar. Biol. Oceanogr., 1963, 1. [Pl.I, Figs.1-9]. Female: 1, habitus (dorsal); 2, urosome (dorsal); 3, genital segment (ventral)5, P1. Nota: Head and 1st pediger segment with indistinct separation. last thoracic segment, in dorsal view, terminates in angular corners and in lateral view, the inner edge of this segment is broken by a hook-like notch; the area between this notch and posterior tip is very thin and transparent with 2 minute hairs. Genital segment looks rather hexagonal in dorsal view and is asymmetrical with the right postero-lateral corner produced into a spine-like structure; A1 25-segmented, reacing to the posterior margin of the penultimate prosomal segment. Urosome 4-segmented. P1 shows several modifications: outer spines of exopod are very slender and sharp; outer apical spine is short, but inner apical spine is subequal to the last two exopod segments; distal to the spine, a flat digitiform process fringed all along the entire margins, is present in 1st and 2nd segments; in 3rd segment there is no indication of this specialised structure; a long sensory filament is present between the digitiform process and thespine of 2nd exopod segment; there is a curved, sickle-shaped spine on the inner distal margin of basipod 2 segment; 1st basipod segment does not bear any seta. Male: 4, urosome and part of prosome (dorsal); 6, right A1; 7, right A1 (9th segment, enlarged); 8, P5; 9, right leg of P5 exopod (terminal part, enlarged). Nota: left A1 25-segmented; right A1 geniculate 22-segmented. Exopod of right leg of P5 2-segmented, while in left leg 3-segmented; right endopod longer than the left. Urosome 5-segmented.

Distribution map of Ridgewayia typica by geographical zones
|
| | | | | | | Loc: | | | Suez Canal , Gulf of Aqaba (Di Zahav pool), Indian Ocan (Sri Lanka) | | | | N: | 3 | | | | Lg.: | | | (77) F: 0,85; (493) M: 0,72-0,74; (518) F: 0,82-0,8; M: 0,78-0,76; (905) F: 0,80; M: 0,73; {F: 0,80-0,85; M: 0,72-0,78} | | | | Rem.: | hyperbenthic (in nightly plankton).
For Figueroa (2011, p.158), Por (1979) likely incorrctly assumed that these males belong to R. typica (specimens of which were collected in the nearby Di Sahav Pool in the Gulf of Elat, Red Sea) and suggests that the observed differences in P5 structure are due to polymorphism within the species. Por neglects to describe the males from Bitter Lakes in detail beyond their P5 structure. | | | Last update : 07/05/2018 | |
