Plate 2 Issued from R. Böttger-Schnack in J. Plankton Res., 2009, 31 (9). [p.1032, Fig.2].
Female: A, A2 (anterior, lateralelements numbered using Roman numerals, distal elements numbered using capital letters [a, distal endopod segment, posterior, setae A-D omitted]; B, labrum (anterior); C, same (posterior); D, Md (showing individual elements numbered using capital letters); E, Mx1; F, Mx2 (seta on inner margin of allobasis figured separately); G, Mxp (posterior; arrow indicating long, basally swollen spinule on syncoxa).
Nota: A2 3-segmented. Coxobasis with row of long spinules along outer margin and few long, fine spinules at inner margin; posterior surface with few additional short denticles; with long bipinnate seta at inner distal corner. Endopod segments unequal in length, distal segment about 1.5 times longer than proximal one.
Labrum bilobed. Distal (ventral) margin of each lobe with 1 strong marginal tooth medially, long row of small spinules or denticles at outer ventral margin and row of 7-8 large, strong denticles alonginner margin, all ornamentation elements inserting posteriorly. Median concavity covered anteriorly by several overlapping rows of hyaline spatulated setules. Anterior surface (fig.2B) unornamented, except for large secretory pore posterior to weakly developed median bulge. Posterior wall of medial cocavity with 1 large chirinized spinous tooth, showing 4-fold upper edge (fig. 2C). Ornamentation on posterior surface not discerned.
Md gnathobase with 5 elements: 3 setae and 2 blades. Ventral element (A) slightly shorter than ventral blade (B), with long fine setules along dorsal side; ventral blade strong and spiniform, unornamented; dorsal blade (C) strong and broad, spinulose along dorsal margin; seta D almost as long as blades B and C, spinulose along dorsal margin; dorsal element (E) longest, setiform and bipinnate.
Mx1 weakly bilobed, no surface unornamention discernible. Inner lobe (praecoxal arthrite) with 3 elements: outermost element spiniform, slightly swollen at base, ornamented with spinules unilaterally and 2 coarse spinules, middle element setiform and unipinnate; innermost element located along concave inner margin close to other elements, sparsely bipinnate. Outer lobe with 4 setiform elements, which are bare or unipinnate, element next to innermost seta longest and swollen at base, outermost element shortest.
Mx2 2-segmented, allobasis slightly longer than syncoxa. Syncoxa unarmed, surface ornamented with cluster of long spinules and 1 large secretory pore. Allobasis produced distally into slightly curved claw bearing 2 rows of sgtrong spinules along medial margin; outer margin with strong seta not extending to tip of allobasal claw; ornamented with long spinules bilaterally, tubular extension on tip of seta not discernible; inner margin with long naked seta (figured separately in fig. 2F) and strong basally swollen spine with double row of long fine spinules along the medial margin and 2 spinules along outer margin.
Mxp 4-segmented (syncoxa, basis and 2-segmented endopod). Syncoxa unarmed, posterior surface ornamented with small denticles and 1 long, basally swollen spinule at inner margin (arrowed in fig.2G).
The specific species name is derived from the Latin ''bulbous'', meaning bulbous, and refers to the form of the long, basally swollen spinule on the syncoxa of the female maxilliped.
