Species Homeognathia brevis - Plate 1 of morphological figuresissued from : G.A. Boxshall in Brit. Mus. nat. Hist., Zool., 1977, 31 (3). [p.120, Fig.9].
Male (from 18°N, 25°W): a, habitus (dorsal); b, A1 (ventral); c, A2 (anterior); d, urosome (ventral); e, Md (anterior); f, Mx1 (posterior); g, Mx2 (anterior); h, Mxp (anterior).
Nota: Prosome very broad and twice as long as the urosome.Caudal rami just longer than anal somite. A1 7-segmented. A2 3-segmented. mx1 bilobed; inner lobe with 2, outer lobe with 3 setae. Mxp 3-segmented; middle segment with a row of fine spinules on inner margin; terminal claw unarmed. P5 a free segment with a long apical seta and a short lateral seta. P6 represented on genital complex by a short postero-lateral projection with a apical spinule.

Distribution map of Homeognathia brevis by geographical zones
Loc:
off NW Ireland, Arct. (Chukchi Sea, Nansen Basin, Amundsen Basin, Makarov Basin, Canada Basin), Cape Verde Is., Medit. (W Basin, Aegean Sea, Lebanon Basin), Philippines (in C.B. Wilson, 1950), Chile (38°- 40°S; in Björnberg, 1973)
N: 11
Lg.:
(24) F: 0,85; (139) M: 1,43; 1,18; (675) F: 1,04-0,88; M: 0,94-0,84; {F: 0,85-1,04; M: 0,84-1,43}
Rem.: bathypelagic.
For Heron & al. (1984, p.459) this species bears a close resemblance to L. flemingi (= Homeognathia flemingi), but may be separated by the longer spiniform setule of P6 and proportionally longer caudal ramus for both sexes.
