Sewell (1947, p.285, Female) notes: The proportional lengths of the anterior and posterior regions of the body as 66 to 34. The proportional lengths of the various segments of the body (cephalon to caudal rami) as 367 : 123 : 52 : 94 : 25 :1 90: 77 : 72 = 1000. It seems clear that the present examples are intermediate between the Pacific form pacificus, and the Mediterranean form ovalis, and the sole distinction between these forms appears to be the presence of a sharp spinous termination to the leteral process of the 4th thoracic segment in ovalis and its absence in pacificus; I am therefore inclined to regard them as local races of the same species. Cephalon and 1st pediger segment are partially fused, the line of demarcation between them being visible on the dorsal aspect. The posterior processes of the 4th thoracic segment terminate in small blunt prominences. The posterior border of the genital segment and the margin of the articulation with the caudal rami on each side of the 2nd abdominal segment are armed with rows of small spinules on the ventral aspect.
Remarks concerning the Male: The proportional lengths of the anterior and posterior regions of the body as 55 to 45. The proportional lengths of the various segments of the body (cephalon to caudal rami) as 322:86:40:95:21:236:91:100 = 1000. Head and 1st pediger segment partially fused (in stained specimens the line of fusion is detectable). The 4 th thoravcic segment is produced backwards on each side in a wing that terminates in a short pointed spine. Genital segment 5/9 as broad as long, the actual proportions being 37 to 63; the genital aperture is guarded by a seta, on he inner side of which is a small triangular spinule; there is no spinous projection on the ventral aspect of the segment. A1 resembles that of female. In A2 the basal part appears composed of 3 segments, of which the proximal is small and incompletely annular in shape.
According to Kang & al. (1990, p.54): Tanaka (1957) pointed out that the length of caudal rami was 5 times its width in female and 8 times its width in male. In the Korean specimen, the former was 4 times and the latter was 7 times; also, Tanaka (1957) mentioned that female had 1 tooth on the inner anterior side of apical spine on exopod of P2.
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 : 16/09/2021 | |
