Plate 1 issued from : G.A. Heron in Antarct. Res. Ser. Washington, 1977, 26. [p.85, Fig.28]. Female (SW Pacific-Antarctic area): a, habitus (lateral (scale bar: X); b, posterior of last prosomal segment and urosome (lateral; scale bar: Y); c, urosome (dorsal; scale bar: Y); d, right A1 (scale bar: Y); e, left A2 (scale bar Y); f, labrum (scale bar Z); g, right Md (scale bar: Z); h, right Mx1 (scale bar: Z); i, left Mx2 (scale bar: Z); j, right Mxp (scale bar: Y); k-n, P1 to P4 (scale bar: Y).
Nota: Anal segment with operculum margin nearly straight. Urosome (lateral view) with caudal ramus width as wide at midpoint as that of anal segment (posterior to operculum).
Plate 2 issued from : G.A. Heron in Antarct. Res. Ser. Washington, 1977, 26. [p.84, Table 6]. Female: Armature of swimming legs P1-P4. Si = inner seta; St = terminal seta; Se = outer seta. Arabic numerals: serae; Roman numerals = Spines.
Plate 3 issued from : G.A. Heron in Antarct. Res. Ser. Washington, 1977, 26. [p.87, Fig.29, a-e]. Male: a, habitus (lateral; scald bar: X); b, posterior of last prosomal segment and urosome (lateral; scale bar: Y); c, urosome (dorsal; scale bar: Y); d, left Mxp (scale bar: Y); e, P1 (basis and endopod).
Nota: Anal segment with operculum margin straight. Distal corner of last prosomal segment rounded. P5 terminal seta length about same length as that of lateral seta.
Plate 4 Issued from : S.J. Malt in Bull. Br. Mus. nat. Hist. (Zool), 1982, 42 (3). [p.205, Fig.11, a-d]. As Oncaea schmitti. Female (from 20°N, 21°W); a-b, habitus (dorsal and lateral, respectively); c, A2; d, Mxp.
Nota; The specimens are so thinly chitinized that the genital segment had partially collapsed during capture or preservation; therefore, the drawing of the urosome may not represent the morphology of the living animal.
Map 4 issued from : G.A. Heron & B.W. Frost in Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 2000, 113 (4). [p.1061, Fig.25]. Locality records for selected species of Epicalymma. Records include previously published personal observations and data presented in this study (p.1023, Table 3).
bathypelagic, abyssopelagic. Sampling depth (Antarct.) : 500-1000-2000 m. For Heron & al. (1984, p.488), the only morphological differences that could be found between specimens from the North and South Polar areas were P2 endopod segments are partially fused on the anterior surface; leg segmentation is often obscure and slightly variable between specimens of a specis. The outer seta on P4 2nd basis is slightly longer on Arctic Ocean females.
