Species Corycaeus (Ditrichocorycaeus) lubbocki - Plate 1 of morphological figuresissued from : R.B.S. Sewell in The John Murray Expedition, 1933-34, Scientific Reports, VIII (1), 1947. [p.283, Fig.71].
Female (from S coast of Arabia): A, last thoracic seggment and urosome (lateral right side); B, A2; C, P1; D, P2; E, P3; F, P4.

Nota: Proportional lengths of the anterior and posterior regions of the body as 56 to 44.
Proportional lengths of the various segments of the body (cephalon to caudal rami) as 364:69:33:47:59:18:153:62:195 = 1000.
Head and 1st thoracic segment separate. 3rd thoracic segmenti produced in a long stout spinous process that extends to half the length of the genital segment; 4th is produced backwards and ends in a sharp spine. Genital segment is produced in a rounded eminence at the antero-ventral region, without any spinous projection in this region, such as is described and figured by M. Dahl, but agrees with the figures given by Giesbrecht (1892, fig.57) and Früchtl (1924, fig.72).

For Boxshall & Halsey (2004, p.491) the subgenus (Dahl, 1912) is considered as full generic status pending phylogenetic revision of the whole family at the generic level.
The presence of this species in the extreme north Pacific is surprising, just like the locality records in the Mediterranean Sea, Brazil and in the Chesapeake Bay.
According to Gurney (1927, p. 161) this form can be confused with C. brehmi.
