Remarks

Overall Depth Range in Sargasso Sea: 500-2000 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S"). 369-3010 m at Station T-1 (E Tori Is., E middle Japan) from Furuhashi (1966 a).
This species presents an original geographical distribution, notably by the absence of references (according to the lists of studied authors) concerning the southern Atlantic, the Indian Ocean, the southern Pacific. The authors generally agree on its profound bathymetric distribution (meso and bathypelagic).
Boxshall (1977, p.138) points to the existence of two distinguishable forms observed in both sexes. The females differed in size, body proportions, in the shape of the genital complex and in Mxp armature. The males differed only in size and in Mxp armature. Neither form of the female, however, corresponds exactly to the typical form described by Giesbrecht (1891, 1892) which appears to exhibit an intermediate condition in certain characters, such as the shape of the genital complex. The maggnitude of these differences is not enough to justify the separation of the forms into distinct species.
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 5 corresponding to small sac-spawning detritivorous.

Oncaea ornata `form 2Â´ sensu Boxshall, 1977 was synonymized with O. englishi Heron, 1977 in a detailed study by Malt (1983b; see also Malt 1983a). Heron & Frost (2000 ) agreed with her opinion and pointed out most readily identifiable characters between the two species, which are very similar in morphology, but differ in the proportional lengths of urosomites and endopodal spine lengths on P2-P4. Thus, I wonder why the two forms of O. ornata recorded by Boxshall (1977) are still presented under the name of O. ornata here (together with the detailed remarks by Boxshall, which are out-dated), whereas in the species site of O. englishi the synonymy between O. ornata `form 2Â´ and O. englishiÂ has been included. I recommend to update the species site of O. ornata correspondingly.

By looking overÂ the figures of O. ornata sensu Chen, Zhang & Zu (1974) given above it appears to me that - based on the form of the genital double-somite, the proportional lengths of urosomites and the relative lengths of the distal endopod spines on P3 and P4 - their species looks more similar to O. englishi Heron (which was not known at that time) than to O. ornata.
