Ref.:
Markhaseva & Ferrari, 2005 a (p.132, Descr.F, figs.F, tab.2, Rem.)
Species Byrathis volcani - Plate 1 of morphological figuresissued from : E.L. Markhaseva & F.D. Ferrari in Invert. Zool., 2005, 2 (2). [p.133, Fig.12].
Female (from 13°23'N, 102°27'W): A-B, habitus (dorsal and lateral, respectively); C, rostrum (frontal view); D, posterior prosome, P5 and urosome (lateral); E, posterior prosome and genital complex ( lateral, left side); F, posterior prosome and urosome (dorsal); G, A1.
Scale bars: 0.1 mm.

Nota : Cepalosome and pediger segment 1 fused, 4th and 5th fused dorsally, separate laterally. Posterior corners of prosome produced laterally into a short, slightly indented lobe. Genital complex symmetrical in dorsal view with a slight bump laterally, a ventral bump in lateral view, and with small spinules dorsally and laterally on this and the following somite. Rostrum with 2 thin short filaments. A1 24-segmented. Caudal ramus with 4 terminal setae, 1 small dorsal seta and 2 subterminal setae ; with denticles.


Species Byrathis volcani - Plate 2 of morphological figuresissued from : E.L. Markhaseva & F.D. Ferrari in Invert. Zool., 2005, 2 (2). [p.134, Fig.13].
Female: A, A2; B, Mx2; C, Mx2 (sensory setae on distal endite + ramus); D, Mxp (syncoxa); E, Mxp (basis and endopod).
Scale bars: 0.1 mm.

Nota : A2 coxa with 1 small seta ; basis with 2 setae ; endopod 2-segmented, distal segment with 15 setae (7 terminal and 8 subterminal) ; exopodite 8-segmented with 1, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3 setae, respectively. Mx2 proximal praecoxal endite with 4 setae , distal with 3 setae, 1 thicker ; proximal coxal endite with 3 setae, 1 thicker, distal with 3 setae, 1 thicker ; proximal basal endite with 4 setae, 1 thicker, 1 worm-like ; distal basal endite + ramus with 5 worm-like and 3 brush-like sensory setae, 1 brush-like seta thicker.


Species Byrathis volcani - Plate 3 of morphological figuresissued from : E.L. Markhaseva & F.D. Ferrari in Invert. Zool., 2005, 2 (2). [p.135, Fig.14].

Scale bars: 0.1 mm.

Nota : Md gnathobase with tooth-like knob on posterior face, cutting edge broad, with 8 teeth and 1 seta ; endopod 2-segmented, proximal segment with 1 seta, distal with 9 setae ; exopod with 1, 1, 1, 1 and 2 setae. Mx1 praecoxal endite with 2 posterior and 9 terminal seta, proximal 2 terminal setae curved proximally; coxal endite with 2 setae, epipodite with 5 setae; proximal basal endite with 2 setae; distal basal endite with 2 setae; endopod with 8 setae in groups of 2 + 6; exopodite with 3 setae.
