Plate 1 issued from : G.A. Heron & B.W. Frost in Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 2000, 113 (4). [p.1043, Fig.15, A-B].
Female (from NE Pacific): pediger 4 posterior corner and urosome (lateral; scale bar: x).
Nota: P5 displays one of the important characters for distinguising it from other similar species: the longer terminal seta is approximately twice as long as the short spiniform seta

Male: B, Mxp (ventral; scale bar: x).
Nota: Mxp has a slight inner swelling and bears 2 setae and 3 medial rows of spatulate setules.

Plate 2 issued from : G.A. Heron & B.W. Frost in Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 2000, 113 (4). [p.1022, Fig.2, D].
Female: P2-P4 endopod terminal ''spine set'' (combination of the lengths, shapes, and position of the three or two terminal spines on the endopods of swimming legs 2-4 , from left to right in figure, for different Oncaea' species).

Nota: endopod of P3 with lateral spine extending about as distal margin of cone.

Female (from 70°25'S, 83°27'W): 1, habitus (dorsal); 2, Mxp; 3, A2; 4, caudal ramus; 5, P5; 6, endopod of P4.

Plate 6 issued from : G.A. Heron & J.M. Bradford-Grieve in New Zealand Oceanogr. Inst. memoir 104. NIWA, 1995. [p.42, Fig.20].
Male (from 62°37'S, 169°51'E): a-b, habitus (lateral and dorsal, respectively) [r]; c, left Mxp [s]; d, P5 [u].

Scale in p.13, Fig.2. Letter in brackets.

Nota: Body with scattered refractile points.
Prosome slightly longer than double length of urosome.
Urosome 1st segment with transverse sclerotized line dorsoposteriorly.
A1 with segments corresponding to terminal 3 of the female fused in male; armature similar to corresponding segments of female, except for absence of distal seta on 3rd segment.
Mxp lacking small segment proximal to claw of female; claw with sinuous profile; armament similar to that of O. conifera male.
Swimming legs as in female.
P5 a free segment; long terminal seta about 1.7 times length of shorter seta; seta on body near leg.
P6 represented by posterolateral flap on ventral surface of genital segment (fig. a)
