 Issued from : J. Renz, E.L. Markhaseva & S. Laakmann in Zool. J. Linnean Soc., 2018, XX. [p.14, Fig.7]. Female (from 46.2333 °N, 155.5333 °E): A-B, habitus (lateral and dorsal, respectively); C, rostrum (ventral); D-E, prosome posterior corners and urosome (lateral and ventral, respectively); F-G, urosome (lateral and ventral, respectively); H, A1. Scale bars; A-B: 0.5 mm; C-G: 0.1 mm. Nota: - Prosome 5.1 times as long as urosome. - Rostrum one-pointed, slender. Cephalosome and pediger 1 separate, pedigers 4-5 separate, - Posterolateral corners of prosome (in dorsal view) asymmetrical, extended posteriorly into points, extending to distal margin of genital double-somite on right side and to distal margin of 2nd urosomal segment in left side . - Ventral inner surface of pediger 5 with short spinules. - Urosome: genital double-somite plus 3 articulated or partly articulated somites. - Genital double-somite asymmetrical , with lateral swelling on right side or left side and faint line of incomplete fusion on dorsal and ventral surface; in lateral view swollen ventromedially. Seminal receptacles in lateral view oval, turned upward. - Urosomites 2, 3 and 4 asymmetrical; 3 and 4 partly fused. - Urosome covered by viscous mass. - Caudal rami asymmetrical with right ramus longer and wider than left; both rami with row of spinules on inner margin and with 2 lateral setae (II and III), 3 terminal setae (IV-VI) and 1 dorsal seta (VII). - A1 with 24 segments (I: 1s+1ae; II:-IV: 6s+4ae; V: 2s+2ae; XXVII-XXVIII: 4s+1ae). Remarks from Renz & al. (2018, p.48): A1 of one female did show a quadrithek arrangement of appendages with segments V, VII, VIII, IX and XIII bearing 2 small, slender aesthetascs in addition to 2 setae. While the doubling of aesthetascs is unusual in female calanoid copepods, it has previopusly been observed in a few genera within the Calanidae by Fleminger (1985). He postulated that quadrithek females derive from genotypic males in which the gonad develops as an ovary and suggested that environmental factors or internal factors affect the final phenotypic sex.

Distribution map of Ryocalanus infelix by geographical zones
|
| | |  Chart of 1996 | |
| | | | Loc: | | | Japan (Izu region: Suruga Bay), Kurile-Kamchatka Trench | | | | N: | 2 | | | | Lg.: | | | (55) M: 2,18; (1223) F: 2,60-2,65; M: 2,11; {F: 2,60-2,65; M: 1,95-2,18} | | | | Rem.: | From a vertical haul (1410-0 m).
After Renz & al. (2018, p.15-8) specimens male and females were present in the samples COI sequence analysis verified the assignment of females and males of the same species.
For Renz & al. (2018, p.18) the right A1 male differs from other Ryocalanus species in the shape of the denticulated and chitinized lamella on segments XXIV and XXVI, which is of a diggerent structure in R. brasilianus (Renz & al.,2013) and absent in R. squamatus (Renz & al., 2018) and R. bowmani (Markhaseva & Ferrari, 1996).
The morphology of the male specimens is mostly as in the original description of Tanaka (1956), except for any setae missing in P1, Mx1, Mx2, and in the left A1 male | | | Last update : 26/03/2019 | |
