[p.2171, Fig.6] Male: A, right P5 (posterior view); B, terminal part of right exopod in a different view; C, left P5 (posterior view); D, terminal part of left exopod segment 2 in a different view. Scale bar: 0.1 mm. Cross-scored seta broken. Nota : P5 biramous on both sides with small, 1-segmented endopods articulated to both bases.

Distribution map of Hyperbionyx athesphatos by geographical zones
|
| | | | Loc: | | | NE Atlantic (Cape Verde Abyssal Plain) | | | | N: | 1 | | | | Lg.: | | | (1063) M: 8,92; {M: 8,92} | | | | Rem.: | sampled between 4795-4000 m (bottom depth: 4891 m).
For Bradford-Grieve (2010, p.2171) this male is distinguished from H. pluto by the P5. H. athesphatos male P5 has a leaf-shaped endopod (H. pluto has this ramus reduced to a vestigial low process); exopod segment 2 has a very large terminal recurved extension, of hyaline appearance distally, which bears ridges or flanges (no such extension is present in H. pluto), and exopod segment 3 is inserted at midlength having a large, terminal, articulated soft spines extending almost as far as, and opposed to, the large extension of segment 2 (in H. pluto this segment is of similar shape but does not have the large terminal spine). The right P5 appears to be without a tuft of setules on the exopod inner border in the region of the division between segment 2 and 3, unlike H. pluto which has setules in this position. The A2 basis and endopod segment 1 are separate rather than partially fused as in H. pluto. There are also small differences in the disposition of setae on some segments of the A1. For the autor, the species has been characterized by sequences of the nuclear ribosomal genes: 18S, 28S, and the mitochondrial gene Cytochrome B (Blanco-Bercial & Bucklin, in prep.). | | | Last update : 06/01/2015 | |
