Oncaea cristata Böttger-Schnack, 2005 (F,M) | |
| | | | | | Syn.: | Oncaea sp. M Böttger-Schnack, 1988; Oncaea ovalis : Böttger-Schnack, 1990; 1995 | | | Ref.: | | | Böttger-Schnack, 2005 (p.167, figs.F,M; Rem.) |  issued from : R. Böttger-Schnack in Cah. Biol. Mar., 2005, 46. [p.163, Fig.2]. Female (from Red Sea): A, habitus (dorsal); B, idem (lateralleft side); C, urosome (dorsal); D, idem (lateral right side); E, A1 (comb-like seta on segment 2 figured separately, aesthetasc on segment 4 not well discerned, stippled); F, caudal ramus (dorsal); G, specimen showing expanded prosome (lateral); H, P5 (dorsal). Nota: Proportional lengths (%) of urosomites and caudal rami 9.4:48.1:11.0:8.5:12.3:10.7.
Relative lengths (%) of segments of A1 measured along posterior non-setigerous margin 8.2:14.3:49.0:11.8:5.3:11.4. Anal somite 1.3 times wider than long, slightly longer than caudal rami. caudal ramus about 1.5 times longer than wide.

 issued from : R. Böttger-Schnack in Cah. Biol. Mar., 2005, 46. [p.170, Fig.3]. Female: A, A2 (lateral elements are numbered using Roman numerals, distal elements are identified by capital letters [a1, distal part of element B; a2, distal part of element III); B, labrum (anterior); C, idem (posterior); D, Md (showing individual elements); E, Mx1; F, Mx2; G, Mxp (anterior) [g1, inner margin of basis, posterior; g2, distal element on basis, posterior, showing ornamentation].

 issued from : R. Böttger-Schnack in Cah. Biol. Mar., 2005, 46. [p.171, Fig.4]. Female: A, P1 (posterior); B, P2 (posterior) [b, lateral margin of exop-3, showing pore between outer subdistal and outer distal spine, spines not figured); C, P3 (posterior); D, P4 (anterior) [d, outer margin of exop-3, arrow indicating pore between outer subdistal and outer distal spine).

 issued from : R. Böttger-Schnack in Cah. Biol. Mar., 2005, 46. [p.174, Fig.5]. Female (from Gulf of Aqaba): A, habitus (dorsal, showing expanded prosome and slight variation in form of genital double-somite); B, ovigerous female (lateral right side, caudal setae partly omitted) [b, egg-sac of same specimen, dorsal]; C, detached egg-sac (provisionally assigned to O. cristata), inner view, showing egg-sac string (arrowed); D, idem (outer view).

 issued from : R. Böttger-Schnack in Cah. Biol. Mar., 2005, 46. [p.175, Fig.6]. Male (from Red Sea): A, habitus (dorsal); B, A1 (comb-like seta on segment 2 figured separately, arrow indicating proximal small aesthetasc); C, Mxp (anterior, proximal part of endopodal claw, showing fused pectinate spine [c, medial view, claw not figured); D, urosome (dorsal, dislocated pore on anal somite arrowed); idem (ventral); F, idem (lateral left side). Nota: Proportional lengths (%) of urosomites and caudal rami 8.6:56.8:4.0:4.0:3.6:11.1:11.9. Relative lengths (%) of segments of A1 measured along posterior non-setigerous margin 5.4:16.2:51.4:27.0.

Distribution map of Oncaea cristata by geographical zones
|
| | | Loc: | | | Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea | | | N: | 1 | | | Lg.: | | | (933) F: 0,42-0,46; M: 0,38-0,40; {F: 0,42-0,46; M: 0,38-0,40} | | | Rem.: | meso-bathypelagic. Sibling species of Oncaea crypta. For Böttger-Schnack (2005, p.176) the two siblings differ in the outer subdistal spine on P3 exop-3 reaches beyond the insertion of the outer distal spine in O. cristata, while this spine does not reach as far as the insertion of the succeeding spine in O. crypta; the outer subdistal spine on P4 exop-3 reaches beyond the marginal pore between the outer subdistal and the outer distal spine and almost as far as the insertion of the outer distal spine in O. cristata, while this spine is shorter in O. crypta, not reaching beyond the marginal pore between the two spines. Further differences between the two siblings are found. | | | Last update : 26/01/2015 | |
