Female (from Rodadero Bay, N Colombia) : 7, urosome (ventral view); 8, genital double-somite showing ventral sclerotization (arrowed).

Nota: For the authors, there are some subtle differences in the Colombian Caribbean specimens: 1- length/width ratio of genital double-somite is 1.27 (vs 1.5 from the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden; 1.4 in the Gulf of Naples); the length ratio of the genital double-somite with respect to the rest of urosomites is 2.5 in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, 2.3 in the Gulf of naples and 2.2 in the Colombian specimens. These differnces are deemed to be intraspecific variations
The shape and location of the scleritization differs among the different species, in O. scottodicarloi, it is a line connected to the genital aperture (see Heron & Bradford-Grieve, 1995, fig.17 K), whereas in both O. media and O. waldemari, sclerotization is absent

Rem.: epipelagic & mesopelagic.
This form has been confused with Oncaea media f. minor by various authors, and with O. curta.
For Fuentes-Reinés & Suarez-Morales (2017, p.516, in the Americas, this species can be confused with O. media and O. waldemari, but can be distinguished: 1- the length/width ratio of the genital double-somite about 1.27-1.50 vs 1.7 in O. waldemari and 1.9 in O. media; 2- the length ratio genital double-somite rest of urosomites 2.2-2.5 vs 1.9 in O. walemarii and 3.9 in O. media; 3- the shape and location of the sclerotization differs among these species, it is a line connected to the genital aperture in O. scottodicarloi, whereas in both O. media and O. walderami sclerotization absent.
Male (from Rodadero Bay, N Colombia):

This species was dedicated by the descriptors to our colleague and friend Bruno Scotto di Carlo of the Zoological Station at Naples, tragically deceased at sea in the Tyrrhenian Sea (see in Orbituary in Journal Plankton Research, 12 (2): 245-248, 1990).
