Björnberg & al. (1981, p.605) report this species from the SW Atlantic, which is not cited anymore in their identification key (I have not been able to find other references of this species in this region (CR)).
According to Markhaseva & Schnack-Schiel (2003,p.119), the well developed sensory appendage of P. minor on the coxal lobe of Mxp syncoxa is a derived character unique within Clausocalanoidea (as well as for Calanoida in general). It is found in the family Aetideidae only in some benthopelagic genera: Bradyetes, Comantenna, Crassantenna, Mesocomantenna, Paracomantenna and Pseudeuchaeta.
For Markhaseva & Schnack-Schiel (2003, p.116) the sensory appendage in the distal part of syncoxa of Mxp (coxal lobe) in Paracomantenna females and CV males is a key character, an dis another example of the presence of sensory elements on the maxilliped syncoxa in the superfamily Clausocalanoidea to which the Aetideidae belongs. Clausocalanoidean families Diaixidae, Parkiidae, Phaennidae, Scolecitrichidae, and Tharybidae possess sensory elements on Mx2 and Mxp syncoxa. Their sensory elements originate from the transformation of sclerotized seta into a sensory seta (Nishida & Ohtsuka, 1997). On the Mxp they are usually situated (if present) on praecoxal lobes of the syncoxa (proximal, middle, or distal) but never on the coxal lobe (the distal lobe of segment). In aetideid genera Bradyetes, Comantenna, Mesocomantenna, Paracomantenna and Pseudeuchaeta have a sensory element on the Mxp syncoxa associated with the coxal lobe near a group of 3 sclerotized setae, which (i.e., 3 sclerotized setae here) is typical of clausocalanoideans. The senssory element in aetideids is not a transformed sclerotized seta, but the poorly sclerorized attenuation of the maxillipedal coxal lobe edge, digitiform in shape. Thus we observe the evolutionary independant origination of sensory structures in clausocalanoideans that may function as chemoreceptors in the detection of food (Nishida & Ohtsuka, 1997 ; Ohtsuka & al., 1998).. | | | Last update : 14/02/2020 | |
