Distal segment with a strong inner marginal spine, coarsely denticulated along the anterior margin; terminal spine short, about 1/3 the length of the inner marginal spine; there is on the outer margin 1 small spine at base ot the terminal spine, and 1 small outer marginal spine opposite to the inner marginal spine.

Distribution map of Scolecithricella propinqua by geographical zones

(S Adriatic Sea, Lebanon Basin, Egypt coast), Philippines (in C. B.

Sargasso Sea: 1000-1500 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, station "S").
Distributional range (m) from Roe (1972) Day: 940, Night: 910-960; from Grice & Hulsemann (1965): 1000-2000 (in Kuriyama & Nishida, 2006).
Probable in the Genus Amallothrix.
For Sars (1925, p.179) this species resembles much to Amallothrix gracilis except P5 which show in the latter a structure unisegmented and 1 spine on the outer margin.
For Vervoort (1965, p.66) the specimenns from the Gulf of Guinea agree well with Tanaka's account but for some variation in the degree of curvature of the head, at times approaching the condition observed in Scolecithrix (Amallothrix) arcuata Sars, 1920, and variability in the length of the terminal spine of P5 in the female. | | | Last update : 19/01/2021 | |
