The mean female size is 4.527 mm (n = 10; SD = 0.5423), and the mean male size is 3.656 mm. The size ratio (male : female) is 0.81. | | | | Rem.: | epi-bathypelagic.
According to Vervoort (1963 b, p.137) the specimens figured and described by T. Scott, 1894 under the name E. messinensis from the Gulf of Guinea probably belong to E. splendens.
For Park (1975, p.297) the females found in the Gulf of Mexico were identical with the descriptions given by Vervoort (1963 b), but in some specimens the process on the right side of the genital segment was single instead of bilobed. | | | Last update : 22/02/2021 | |
