Rem.: With (1915) and Sars (1925, as S. persecans describe and illustrate this specis, but they differ in certain details. The posterior corners of prosome are more produced in With’s females and the long outer spine of the P5 extends almost to the distal margin of the 2nd urosomal segment, whereas in Sars’s specimens this spine does not reach the anterior margin of the urosomal segment 2.

This species seems to have been confused with S. persecans and S. helenae by various authors (see synonymies in Vervoort, 1965). After Vervoort, a comparison of A. Scott's and Mori's S. helenae with With's S. thori shows that the species are identical; the species has been decribed as S. persecans by Sars (1925) and Brodsky (1950); Wilson's '1932) description and figures of S. helenae probably also refer to S. thori; it seems clear that Wilson (1950, p.338) described the male of S. thori as S. helenae, but the female attributed to that species is neither S. helenae nor S. thori as it has pointed lateral thoracic margins; it may be the same species as that described by Tanaka as S. helenae. Farran's (1929, p.251);S. terranovae from surface haulsoff New Zealand seems to be a composite species; the male cannot possible be separatd from S. thori; the female, tough it shows affinities with the latter species, represents a species different from S. thori and xhich should stand as S. terranovae. Vervoort does not include Tanaka's (1953, p.132; 1961, p.140) S. helenae into the synonymy of S. thori; it appears that females shows pointed lateral thoracic margins (rounded in S. thori), whilst the structure of P5 in male differs slightly. Park questions the validity of certain synonymies. The geographical distribution can't be given accurately.
For Bradford & al; (1983, p.122) this species is very like S. terranovae, S. farrani and S. helenae.
According to Park (1983, p.210), Vervoort (1965) considered the following species as synonymous: 1- The male of S. helenae as described by Scott (1909), Mori (1937), and C.B. Wilson (1950); 2- The male of Scottocalanus terranovae described by Farran (1929); 3- The female and male of Scottocalanus persecans as described by Sars (1925) and C.B. Wilson (1932). However, it seems to be almost impossible to establish their identities on the basis of descriptions and illustraytions given by these authors.
For Park (1983) the identification of S. thori is based mainly on the presence of a small notch on the distal end of the metasome, habitus, and shape of P5, however in the two specimens from 45°55'S, 132°33'E and 117°E, the distal end of the metasome in lateral view are broadly rounded, while With (1915) described it as somewhat triangulary prodiuced with an obtusely rounded distal end; also the distal rostral processes are slightly divergent instead of being straight. | | | Last update : 06/03/2017 | |
