Distribution map of Oncaea tregoubovi by geographical zones
Loc:
off N Cape Verde Is., Medit. (Alboran Sea, Balearic Basin, S Adriatic Sea, South of Crete, Lebanon Basin), G. of Aqaba, Red Sea (N-S), Gulf of Aden, Equatorial Indian Ocean, Japan (Tosa Bay), Oyashio region, NE Pacific (off Monterey, California)
N: 16
Lg.:
(680) F: 0,37-0,31; (685) F: 0,33; M: 0,33; (788) F: 0,31-0,28; M: 0,3-0,29; (1011) F: 0,33 [N Red Sea]; 0,34-0,36 [G. of Aqaba]; 0,37 [Adriatic Sea]; 0,32-0,33 [Equatorial Indian Ocean]; 0,35-0,36 [NW Pacific, Kuroshio extension]; 0,38-0,40 [NW Pacif., Oyashio region]; 0,36 [off Monterey, California]; M: 0,31-0,34 [S-N Red Sea]; {F: 0,28-0,40; M: 0,29-0,34}
Rem.: This species shows very variable bathymetric situations (200-400 m in the Adriatic Sea, 0-450 m in the Red Sea, 200-300 m in the Adriatic Sea, and 2980-3560 m in NE Cape verde Is.
For Malt (1982, p.186) some minor differences were found between the present material (NE Cape Verde Is.) and the original material figured by Shmeleva (1968). Most notably Shmeleva (fig.9) shows P4 with the internal margin of the 3rd endopodal segment unarmed, whereas the present specimens have a single seta
