Distribution map of Scabrantenna yooi by geographical zones
|
| | | | | | | Loc: | | | Japan (Okinawa Trough, hydrothermal vent) | | | | N: | 1 | | | | Lg.: | | | (915) F: 3,53; M: 3,32; {F: 3,53; M: 3,32} | | | | Rem.: | epi-hyperbenthic (depths: 583-711 m).
For Lee & Huys (2000, p.41) this genus can be considered a transitionary genus between the more primitive genera, Nudivoras and Andromastax and the trudy planktonic Aegisthidae (Aegisthus mucronatusA. aculeatus. It shares with Aegisthus the strongly reduced mouthparts and the distally elongate A1 in the male. S. yooi is particularly reminiscent of A. aculeatus in the female morphology, such as the shape of the rostrum, the 7-segmented A1 and the form of Mxp. The most distinctive feature of the new genus is the A2 which displays a remarkable sexual dimorphism. A2 is clearly prehensile and capable of seizing; in view of the non feeding strategy of the male it is unlikely that A2 is involved in food manipulation and hence a role in mate guarding seems more likely. | | | Last update : 02/11/2008 | |
