Species Pseudodiaptomus pelagicus - Plate 9 of morphological figures

Plate 9 Issued from : C.D. Marsh in Proc. U.S. natn. Mus., 1933, 82 (18) (2959). [Pl. 16, fig.6]. As Pseudodiaptomus coronatus.
Male (from Narragansett Bay): 6, P5.

Nota: The 1st segment of basipod of the right P5 extended on the inner distal angle into a stout spine reaching about 1/2 the length of the 2nd segment of basipod; its inner border has a short spine. 1st segment of the right exopod with a stout blunt spine projecting from its dorsal surface, this spine is 3/4 as long as the segment; the inner border of the segment has short spines like those on the 2nd segment of the basipod and near the proximal end a a flask-shaped spine (this spine seems to be constant in the species). The 2nd exopodal segment has an acute external spine at about 3/4 of its length; the terminal hook is nearly as long as the two segments of the exopod; on its inner border, near the base, is an acute spine. The 1st basipodal segment of the left P5 has 4 slender acute spines on its inner border; 2nd basipodal segment with short spines along its inner border; the 1st exopodal segment is short, with an acute spine at its outer distal border; 2nd exopodal segment about twice the length of the 1st, and is pointed at the end where there are 3 acute spines. There is an endopod on the left P5.

Species Pseudodiaptomus pelagicus - Plate 10 of morphological figures

Plate 10 Issued from : C.D. Marsh in Proc. U.S. natn. Mus., 1933, 82 (18) (2959). [Pl. 16, figs.3-5]. As Pseudodiaptomus coronatus.
Female: 3, urosome (lateral); 4, exopod of A2; 5, P5.

Nota: Urosome 4-segmented, 2nd and 3rd ordinarily imperfectly separated. 1st urosomal segment with rows of small spines on the dorsal surface at about 1/2 its length and spines on the distal margin; it is enlarged in front and has a pair of linguiform flaps over the genital aperture.
Length of the caudal rami about 8 times their width, ciliate on both inner and outer margins.
There are 2 egg sacs, but the right is aborted, containing only 2 eggs (sometimes the right is entirely lacking).
A1 22-segmented, about equal in length the cephalothorax.
Exopod of A2 apparently 6-segmented.
In P5, the distal margins of the 2nd basipodal segment and the 1st exopodal segment armed with small spines. There is a spine at the exterior distal angle of the 1st exopodal segment. The 2nd exopodal segment terminates in a rather long curved hook; there is a spine at the outer distal angle and, near the inner angle, a broad plumose spine. A small spine is attached to the base of the hook. The 1st exopodal segment is more than twice as long as the 2nd.
