Females: SEM micrographs ventral views of the genital double-somite in different specimens showing sequence of stages of extrusion of an unidentified material. Arrows indicate the tiny terminal spinule on the inner margin of the last prosomite; c.p. = copulatory pores; e;M. = extruded material; l.o. = left genital operculum; r.o. = right genital operculum.

Genital somite slightly produced laterally on left side, with gonopore opening posterolaterally on left side ventral surface ; ornamentation of somite reduced to cluster of few short spinules anterodorsally on right margin of somite. Posterior hyaline frill of 4th urosomite transformed progressively into row of long spinules ventrally and ventrolaterally (as in female). Anal somite short, with scarcely developed, hyaline operculum. Caudal rami symmetrical, 1.7 times longer than wide, with 4 distal setae and 1 reduced seta (seta VII) on outgrowth midway along medial margin ; no trace of seta I.. Distal setae short (just longer than urosome) and stiff, spinulose, distolateral seta (seta III) slightly shorter than rest. Internal tissue of distal setae finely corrugated.

Distribution map of Stephos vivesi by geographical zones

| | | | | | | Loc: | | | W Medit. (Balearic Islands, Majorca: Cova des Coll) | | | | N: | 1 | | | | Lg.: | | | (1017) F: 0,44-0,45; M: 0.44-0.45; {F: 0,44-0,45} | | | | Rem.: | In Cova des Coll (E Majorca), typical mixing-zone cave excavated in an upper Miocene coral reef, with a direct connexion connection to the sea.
Jaume & al. (2008, p.511) points to the species exhibits an external configuration of the genital system for the genus: paired genital opercular plates located ventrally, each partially concealing copulatory pore, placed ventromedially; genital opercular plates capable of retraction. All other stephids for which reliable information is available possess a single genital operculum covering both genital apertures.
The species belongs to ''group IV'' (see genus Stephos).
Thie species name by the authors to honour Dr Francisco Vives from Palma de Mallorca. | | | Last update : 14/08/2015 | |
