 Calanopia levantina. Female: 1 - P5 exopod 1-segmented. 2 - Exopod of P5 with 2 spines. 3 - Exopodal segment of P5 with 2 spines (lateral very short and long terminal one). Male: 1 - left P5 longer than right one; basis of left P5 swollen proximally. 2 - 2nd exopodal segment of right P5 nearly 2/3 length of 1st exopodal segment; coxa of right P5 about 1.7 times as long as basis. 3 - Basis of left P5 swollen proximally and produced into a small spine; 2nd exopodal segment of P5 short; 3rd exopodal segment of right P5 without medial process.

Distribution map of Calanopia levantina by geographical zones

| | | | | | | Loc: | | | E Medit. (N Levbanon Basin) | | | | N: | 2 | | | | Lg.: | | | (925) F: 1,15-1,27; M: 1,10-1,15; {F: 1,15-1,27; M: 1,10-1,15} | | | | Rem.: | South Turkish continental shelf.
For Uysal & Shmeleva (2004, p.10) this species most closely resembles Calanopia aurivilli from the Indo-Pacific. | | | Last update : 10/03/2016 | |
