Distribution map of Pseudocyclops giussanii by geographical zones
|
| | | | | | | Loc: | | | W Medit. (NE Sicily, Lake Faro) | | | | N: | 3 | | | | Lg.: | | | (1018) F: 0,53; {F: 0,53} | | | | Rem.: | hyperbenthic.
This species is very similar to Pseudocyclops mirus.
For Zagami & al. (2008, p.611) the new species has a very narrow and elongate female prosome, that is shared only with P. pumilis and P. mirus within the genus. In addition, it is similar to these two species in having 16 segmented antennules and in the presence of an outer basal spine on P3. The mirus- Group shares synapomorphies as follows: 1- absence of exopodal setae along the inner margin of female P5; 2- unarmed proximal endopod segment of female P5, with 2 acute pointed processes; the distal endopod segment with 1 medial and 2 distal setae, and 3 or 4 processes terminally. | | | Last update : 06/02/2020 | |
