Pseudochirella major (Sars, 1907) (F,M) | |
| | | | | | Syn.: | Bradyetes major Sars, 1907 a (p.9, Rem.F); Pseudochirella fallax : Sars, 1920 c (p.6, Rem.); 1925 (p.95, figs.F, Rem.M); Grice & Hulsemann, 1965 (p.223); Deevey & Brooks, 1977 (p.256, tab.2, Station "S"); Bradford & Jillett, 1980 (p.66); Markhaseva, 1989 (p.35, 40, 41, Descr.M, figs. M); 1996 (p.264, figs.F,M) | | | Ref.: | | | Vaupel Klein, 1995 (p.914, Rem.) | issued from : E.L. Markhaseva in proc. Zool. Inst. RAN, St. Petersburg, 1996, 268. [p.265, Fig.210]. As Pseudochirella fallax. Female (19°09'S, 63°07'E)). Ce: forehead; P.md: mandibular palp; Gntb Md: gnathobase of Md (partial); CP4: coxopod of fourth leg. Nota: Cephalothorax 4.0-4.6 times longer than urosome. Rostrum developed weaker than in other species of genus. Posterior corners of last thoracic segment slightly asymmetrical (dorsal view), prolonged into rounded lobes. Genital segment slightly asymmetrical; lateral swelling on the left more prominent than on the right; genital field removed laterally (ventral view). Urosomal segments 1-3 surface with hairs. A1 about as long as body. Exopodite of P1 3-segmented. Endopodite of P2 2-segmented. Coxopodite of P4 with 20-23 spines (14 spines recorded by Sars, 1925).

issued from : E.L. Markhaseva in Proc. Zool. Inst. RAN, St. Petersburg, 1996, 268. [p.266, Fig.211]. As Pseudochirella fallax. Male (from Markhaseva, 1989). Nota: Cephalothorax about 3.6 times longer than urosome. Posterior corners of last thoracic segment without spines, slightly asymmetrical (dorsal view). A1 longer than body by 2-3 last segments. Oral parts reduced in comparison with those in females. Exopodite of P1 3-segmented, but 1 external spine significantly shorter than in female. Endopodite of P2 2-segmented. Coxopodite of P4 without spines and setae. Exopodal segment 2 of left P5 with 1 tooth, exopodal segment 3 nearly 4 times longer than wide.

Distribution map of Pseudochirella major by geographical zones

| | | | | | Issued from : E.L. Markhaseva in Issled. Fauny Morei, 1989, 41 (49). [p.60, Fig.19]. Geographical distribution of P. fallax [= P. major]. 2: from literature; dotted circle for Grice, Hulsemann, 1965; 3: present occurrence. |
| | | Loc: | | | Atlant. (temperate), Azores, Caribbean, Sargasso Sea: off Bermuda: Station "S" (32°10'N, 64°30'W), SW Indian (off Rodrigues Is.)
Type locality: North Atlantic (central part). | | | N: | 6 | | | Lg.: | | | (1) F: 3,8; (37) F: 3,8-3,6; M: 3,2; {F: 3,60-3,80; M: 3,20} | | | Rem.: | bathypelagic. Sargasso Sea: 1500-2000 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, station "S"); After an historical account concerning the generic and specific change of its form by Sars (1907, 1920, 1925), Vaupel Klein (1995, p.914-916) concludes, with regard to the nomenclatorially, justified use of the specific name major henceforth. | | | Last update : 30/01/2015 | |
