A1 25-segmented. 2nd and 3rd endopodal segments of P3 and P4 with short spinules on posterior side.

Distribution map of Amallothrix robustipes by geographical zones
|
| | | | | | | Loc: | | | NE Atlant. (off Canary Is.- Azores-), ? Cape Verde Is., ? G. of Mexico, W Indian | | | | N: | 2 | | | | Lg.: | | | (226) F: 1,13; {F: 1,13} | | | | Rem.: | "Amallothrix" robustipes: Probable in Tharybidae.
This species is distinguished from its closest relative A. arcuata (Sars, 1920) by the absence of rostral filaments, the separation of the 4th and 5th thoracic segments and structure of P5 (the place of insertion of the inner and outer spines and the larger size of the terminal spines on the terminal segment).
For Grice & Hulsemann (1967, p.26) the specimens from Indian Ocean have 2 setae on the 2nd inner lobe and 10 setae on the endopod of Mx and no rostral filaments. | | | Last update : 29/12/2014 | |
