Rem.:

inshore.
For Uysal & Shmeleva (2002, p.47-48) this species resembles S. affinis, but differs ot the latter by having a smaller median crest on the forehead and the presence of a rudimentary endopod. The originality of construction of the P1 and P5 distinguish the species from other Scaphocalanus species.
