A1 5-segmented (2-5 partially fused); ratio of length of 1st segment and remainder 14 : 86 = 100; A1 0.24 of total body length. Head and 1st pedigerous somite fused. P5 1-segmented with broad single lobe bearing 2 setae, outer seta slightly longer than inner. Urosome consisting of 5th pedigerous somite, genital double somite and 2 free abdominal somites; length ratio of these 4 segments 39.6 : 33.3 : 14.6 : 12.5 = 100.

Distribution map of Monstrilla elongata by geographical zones
|
| | | | Loc: | | | Mexico (Banco Chinchorro, Reef lagoon off Puerto Morelos, Yucatan), Philippines (Caldera Bay) | | | | N: | 2 | | | | Lg.: | | | (742) F: 4,20; (801) F: 3,4-2,8 [caudal rami excluded]; (873) F: 1,6-3,3; M: 2,1-3,0; 3,5-3,68; {F: 1,60-4,20} | | | | Rem.: | In water column; over Thalassia testudinum beds.
For Suarez-Morales (2000 b, p.686) the record of M. elongata in the Philippines represents an important range extension for this species, previously known only from the Mexican Caribbean Sea. | | | Last update : 24/02/2020 | |
