Species Chiridiella subaequalis - Plate 1 of morphological figuresissued from : E.L. Markhaseva in Proc. Zool. Inst. RAN, St. Petersburg, 1996, 268. [p.109, Fig.82].
Female. (specimen of Kuril Trench). P.md: mandibular palp.

Nota: Despite minor differences in setation of Mxp, and length of 1st outer spine on exopod of P1 this form is attribuated to C. subaequalis

Female (29°57'N, 22°58'W): a, habitus (lateral right side); b, A2; c, Md; d, Mx1 (spines on 1st lobe omitted); e, Mx2; f, distal end of Mxp; g, proximal segment of Mxp; h, P1; i, P2; j, detail of tooth structure on terminal spine of P2; k, P3; l, P4.
Nota: Head and 1st thoracic segment separate, 4th and 5th fused.
A1 reaches end of prosome.
Endopod and exopod o fA2 subequal
Mx1: 2nd and 3rd inner lobes with 1 and 4 setae, respectively; endopod with 7 setae; exopod with 4 setae.
Mx2 with distal 3 lobes each bearing a heavily thickened seta, all of equal length.
Mxp with elongate setae on endopodal segments.
Exopods of P2-P4 3-segmented with 1st and 2nd segments incompletely separated.

3 - Endopod of P1 without external lobe.
4 - Exopod of P1 with 2 external spines.
Mx1 second and third internal lobes with 1 and 4 setae respectively; endopod with 7 setae; exopod with 4 setae.

Species Chiridiella subaequalis - Plate 5 of morphological figuresChiridiella subaequalis female ;
1 - Mx2 lobes without spines arranged as pincers.
2 - 3rd, 4th and 5th lobes of Mx2 with enlarged hooklike spines .
3 - A1 approximately cephalothorax length.
4 - Endopods of P1-P4 1-segmented.
5 - Exopod of P1 with 2 edge spines.
