Plate 1 issued from : I. Yu. Prusova in Mar. Ecol. J., 2007, 6 (3). [p.62, Fig.1].
Female (from 16°77'N, 55°47'E): 1-2, habitus (dorsal and lateral, respectively); 3, urosome (right lateral); 4, Md (mandibular palp); 5, Md (mandible gnthobase; 6, integumental pores pattern on dorsal surface of pedigerous somites 3-5 and urosome.
Nota: Ratio of prosome to urosome length about 7 : 1.
Rostrum well developed, ending in 2 fine filaments.
Pedigerous somite 1 and Head fused, 4th and 5th partly fused.
Urosome of 3 segments; anal segment and caudal rami fused; left caudal ramus slightly larger than the right; right caudal ramus with fascicle of hairs; 2nd medial terminal seta on left caudal ramus markedly stouter and much longer than others.
Md exopod-5 segmented, setal formula 1, 1, 1, 1, 2; endopod 2-segmeted, endopod 1 without setae, endopod 2 with 4 setae.
Male: 7-8, habitus (dorsal and lateral, respectively); 9, Md (mandibular palp); 10, Md (mandible gnathobase); 11, P5; 12, integumental pores pattern on dorsal surface of pedigerous somites 3-5 and urosome.
Nota: Ratio of prosome to urosome length about 6 : 1.
Forehead in dorsal view almost triangular with apex smoothly rounded and less produced than in female.
Rostrum elongated, ending in 2 fine filaments.
Head and pedigerous segment 1 fused, 4th and 5th partly fused.
Urosme 5-segmented, anal segment and caudal rami fused; genital segment slightly produced on left side, with distinct genital operculum; left caudal ramus larger than the right.
A2, Md palp, Mx1, Mx2 and Mxp slightly reduced, much smaller than in female, but resemble the latter in details of arrangement. Ganthobase of Md degenerated, with single spinelike tooth.
P5 both left and right uniramous, 4-segmented; left ramus long, distal segment tipped with hook-like spine; right ramus short, 3rd and 4th incompletely separated, distal segment tipped with seta.
On anal segment, 4 pores were revealed in 4 specimens, 5 pores in 1 specimen, localization of the 5th pore is indicated by open circle.

Mx1 with the 1st praecoxal arthrite carrying 15 spines, praecoxal arthrites 2-3 with 4, 4 setae, respectively; coxal endite 1 with 9 stout setae; coxal endite 2 is not pronounced, with 1 medium-sized seta; basis with 5 setae, exopod with 5 setae, endopod with 13 setae.
Mx2 with well developed endites, endite 1 with 6 setae and 1 spine, endites 2-6 with 3, 3, 3, 4, 1 setae, respectively; endopod 4-segmented, setal formula 1, 1, 1, 2. Outer margin of coxa has round swelling with hairs and long plumose seta.
Mxp 7-segmented; coxa with 1, 2, 3, 3, setae on medial margin; basis partly fused with endopodite 1, with 3 medial and 2 distal setae, free endopod 2-6 setal formula 3, 4, 3, 3 +1 and 2+2.
P1 coxa with hairs on inner margin, basis with curved plumose seta at internal apex.
