 issued from : C.O. Esterly in Univ. Calif. Publs Zool., 1911, 6 (14). [Pl.26, Fig.3]. Female (from San Diego Region): 3, habitus (lateral) (urosome incomplete). Nota: Spine of the forehead is long and directed forward and slightly downward. A1 twice the length of the body. The length of the cephalothorax from the tip of the cephalic spine to the tip of the thoracic spine is over 5 times the length of the urosome.

Nota: Rostrum short and rounded. Spines on the sides of the last thoracic segment are long and extend beyond the middle of the genital segment.

Nota: A1 twice longer than body ( nearly of the same length as in G. miles). Cephalothorax about 5 times longer than urosome. Frontal spine long and robust, directed forward, its top not curved or weakly curved to rostrm. Endopod of P2 1-segmented, with traces of subdivision between segments.
|
 Gaetanus secundus female: 1 - Anterior part of cephalon with frontal spine. 2 - Exopodal segment 1 of A2 without seta; exopodal segment 2 with 1 seta (near distal margin). 2nd internal lobe of Mx1 with 3 (?) setae. Exopod of P1 with 2 external spines. 3 - Mxp protopodite with lateral plate. 4 - Exopodal segment 2 of A2 with 1 seta. 5 - Spines of last thoracic segment exceeding at least the midlength of genital segment. Frontal spine large. 6 -, Frontal spine straight, not curved to rostrum by its top. 7 - Spines of last thoracic segment slightly reaching the midlength of genital segment. External spine of exopodal segment 2 of P1 exceeding the midlength of the next segment.
|
 Gaetanus secundus male: 1 - Cephalon without frontal spine. 2 - Cephalon with crest in anterior part. Body size < 6 mm.

Distribution map of Gaetanus secundus by geographical zones
|
| | | | | | | Loc: | | | SE Atlantic, Canary Is., Bay of Biscay, G. of Mexico, W Scotland, Vancouver Is., California, Izu-Bonin & Mariana Trench, Indian.
Type locality: NE Pacific (San Diego region) | | | | N: | 10 | | | | Lg.: | | | (7) M: 3,4; (37) F: 5,2-3,8; M: 3,55-3; (40) F: 4,24-3,72; M: 3,4-3; (59) F: 5,2; (143) F: 5,2; (199) M: 3,27-3,12; {F: 3,72-5,20; M: 3,00-3,55} | | | | Rem.: | Mesopelagic, bathypelagic. For Esterly (1911, p.318) this species resembles G. unicornis but is easily distinguished by the much greater length of A1 and the character of the spines on the basals of P4.
Certain locality records are doubtful because of Markhaseva's (1996) suspicion on the synonymy of this species with Gaetanus miles. | | | Last update : 05/01/2015 | |
