Farran in Great Barrier Reef Expedition 1928-29. Scientific Reports, V, No.3. Copepoda. 1936 [p.136, Fig.29]. Female: a, habitus (dorsal); b, idem (lateral left side). Nota: These specimens come very near to Dahl's description of C. minimus indicus/; they differ in the slightly longer furca, twice as long as the anal segment and 7.5 to 8 times as long as wide. As compared with Dahl's figure, the genital segment is broader and more globular in dorsal view. Klevenhusen (1933) has described, from the Atlantic, a form with a ventral hook on the genital segment, in our specimens there is a minute rudimentary hook.

Corycaeus (Ditrichocorycaeus) minimus indicus M. Dahl,1912 (F,M)
Ref.: M. Dahl, 1912 (p.55, figs.F); Farran, 1936 a (p.137, figs.F, Rem.); Lakkis & Zeidane, 1987 (p.22, figs.F,M, Rem.); Vidjak & Bojanic, 2008 (p.234, Redescr.F,M, figs.F,M); Vidjak & Bojanic, 2009 (p.433, Table II, IV, V)
Loc.: Libanon, Indian (Sri Lanka), Australia (Great Barrier)
.
Nota: For Dahl (1912) this subspecies is established on the basis of femalefrom the Indian Ocean that they differed from D. minimus minimus (F. Dahl, 1894)) by the slightly divergent instead of parallel caudal rami and the presence of minute protrusion on the ventral edge of genital somite insteead a well-developed ventral hook in female.
Corycaeus (Ditrichocorycaeus) minimus uncinatus Klevenhusen,1933 (F,M)
Syn.: Ditrichocorycaeus minutus uncinatus Klevenhusen, 1933 (p.586, figs.F,M); 1933 a (p.92, Rem., chart 38)
Loc.: Atlant. (off Is. du Cap Vert SW, off Ste-Hélène, off Namibie W)
Lg.: (673) F: 0,91-0,81; M: 0,81-0,76; {F: 0,81-0,91; M: 0,76-0,81}
Rem.: This sub-species, often mixed with C. minimus, distinguishes from the latter by the presence of a hook on the ventral side of the genital segment in both sexes.
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. | | | Last update : 20/02/2018 | |
