Type locality: off San Diego (California). | | | N: | 29 | | | Lg.: | | | (5) F: 5,4; (10) F: 3,5; 3,7; (11) F: 4,98-4,26; (14) F: 4,65-4,6; (17) F: 4,3; (22) F: 4,3; (37) F: 4,98-3,7; M: 4,25; (40) F: 5,08-4,6; (113) F: 4,8-4,5; (137) F: 4,75; M: 4,25; (144) F: 3,7; (201) F: 4,75; {F: 3,50-5,40; M: 4,25} | | | Rem.: | meso-abyssopelagic. Sargasso Sea: 1000-1500 m. For Vervoort (1963 b, p.128) hesitates identified Wolfenden's G. rectus and Esterly's G. ascendens because the large discrepancies in size (G. rectus female: 3.50 mm; G. ascendens female: 3.70 mm); there is a great similarity in the shape of the head and the caudal part of the cephalothorax, while the development of the lamella on the coxa Mxp is almost identical in three species mentioned. Bradford & Jillett (1980, p.48) examine the Wilson's material showing that G. curvispinus is identical with G. brevicornis from New Zealand (41°45'S, 174°55'E). Observed for the first time by Dias & al. (2010) in Intermediate Antarctic water from off Macaé (S Brazil). | | | Last update : 23/11/2020 | |
