Male: A-B, habitus (dorsal and lateral, respectively); C, P5 (anterior); D, distal part of left P5 (anterior); E, idem (posterior). Nota: P5 consisting of a small, uniramose left leg and a well developed, biramose right leg; right basipod reaching about middle of 1st exopodal segment; right endopod unsegmented, tapering into a curved spiniform process, with a prominent tooth-like process close to proximal end; right exopod 2-segmented, proximal segment with a large tooth-like process at a level immediately posterior to the tooth-like process on endopod; distal segment tapering into a curved spiniform process, with its internal margin finely serrated. In left leg of P5 endopod lacking; exopod 3-segmented, last segment small with 3 or 4 small tooth-like processes distally, and together with distal part of 2nd segment (immovable finger), forming a small chela; immovable finger of the chela slightly longer than movable finger (3rd segment).

Female: i, fusion of exopodal segments 1 and 2 of P1 (left appendage, posterior view). Nota: Only very faint indications of the former suture are occasionally found in individual specimens of most species of Euchirella, and then mainly on the anterior face of the combined segment. Scale bar 0.1 mm.

Scale bar: 0.2 mm.

Distribution map of Euchirella pseudotruncata by geographical zones
|
| | | | Loc: | | | Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, Sargasso Sea, off NE Cape Verde Is.
Type locality: Gulf of Mexico. | | | | N: | 6 | | | | Lg.: | | | (225) M: 3,60-3,48; (235) F: 4,66-4; M: 3,8-3,32; (236) F: 4,66-4,3; M: 3,8-3,64; (1257) F: 4,2-4,3; {F: 4,00-4,66; M: 3,32-3,80} | | | | Rem.: | epi- bathypelagic.
Park points to in the genital segment female, the small ear-shaped processes are lacking, contrary to E. truncata; the protrusion on the left side is neither extending to the distal end of the segment nor having a hollow area.. In the P5 male , the 1st exopodal segment of the left leg is extending beyond the distal end of the right basipod by 1/2 its length, and the 3rd exopodal segment has 3 or 4 small toothlike processes on its distal end. | | | Last update : 22/02/2021 | |
