Species Pontella vervoorti - Plate 1 of morphological figuresIssued from : Mulyadi in Crustaceana, 2003, 76 (4). [p.396, Fig.7].
Female (from Semarang harbour, central Java): a, 5th metasomal somite and urosome (dorsal); b, forehead (lateral); c, 4th and 5th metasomal somites and urosome (lateral right side); d, rostrum (anterior view); e, P1; f, P5.
Nota: Rostrum bifid, almost symmetrical, thickned basally, lens indistinct. Urosome 2-segmented; urosomite 1 asymmetrical, dorsal surface rather swollen, 1 small process present on middle of distal end and 1 long process arising from distal right margin to distal end of right caudal ramus.Caudal rami asymmetrical, right ramus much larger and longer than left, each with 5 plumose and 1 small setae. A1 24-segmented, extending to distal end of 3rd metasomal somite. Anal somite short, asymmetrical.
