Speleohvarella gamulini Krsinic, 2005 (F,M) | |
| | | | | | | Ref.: | | | Krsinic, 2005 (p.608, figs.F,M) |  issued from : F. Krsinic in J. Plankton Res., 2005, 27 (6). [p.609, Fig.1]. Female (from 43°70' N, 17°03'02''E): A-B, habitus (dorsal and lateral, respectively); C, urosome (dorsal); D, genital double-somite (lateral, right side). Cephalosome and 1st pedigerous somite fused. Caudal rami asymmetrical, longer than wide, right ramus slightly longer than left and about twice as long as wide; each ramus with 4 terminal setae (III-VI), small seta VII on inner border of caudal ramus; attachment sites of inner setae asymmetrical developed, with left seta originating anterior to that of right ramus; terminal setae II-VI with fine setules along their lengths.

 issued from : F. Krsinic in J. Plankton Res., 2005, 27 (6). [p.610, Fig.2]. Female: A, urosome (lateral); B, genital double-somite (ventral); C, anterior part of the head with labrum (ventral); D, A1. Nota: A1 24-segmented, reaching almost end of anal segment. Rostral area rounded with a very small protuberance ventrally. labrum with 6 secretory pores on anterior surface, distal margin spinulose, and each lateral lobe with spinulose patch. Genital double-somite with genital area symmetrical, located medio-ventrally; operculi fused, genital apertures and seminal receptacles paired; row of small spinules on each side of genital double-somite.

Distribution map of Speleohvarella gamulini by geographical zones
|
| | | | | | | Loc: | | | Medit.: central Adriatic Sea (Bay of Kozja: Ziva Voda cave, Lenga Pit) | | | | N: | 2 | | | | Lg.: | | | (940) F: 0,52-0,57; M: 0,53-0,57; {F: 0,52-0,57; M: 0,53-0,57} | | | | Rem.: | For Krsinic (2005, p.613) this species displays several primitive features for the family Stephidae, including 13 armature elements on the praecoxal arthrite and 2 setae on the basal exite of the Mx1, contrary to remaining Stephidae which are armed with a single seta on the basal exite.
The salinity in water column below 5 m depth was 37-38 and temperature ± 15°C. | | | Last update : 11/05/2016 | |
