Distribution map of Oncaea serrulata by geographical zones
|
| | | | | | | Loc: | | | Medit. (Balearic Basin, Ligurian Sea, Strait between Tunisia and Sicily, S Crete) | | | | N: | 1 | | | | Lg.: | | | (1075) F: 0.528-0.574; M: 0.420-0.510; {F: 0.528-0.574; M: 0.420-0.510} | | | | Rem.: | meso-bathypelagic.
For Böttger-Schnack (2011, p.325) this species differs from Oncaea notopus, but belongs to the notopus-group whhich are characterized by a long, free exopod on P5. It differs from O. notopus and any other described species of this group by: 1- the relative lengths of distal endopod spines on P2 and P3; 2- the denticulate ornamentation of the exopod segment and the two exopodal setae on P5; 3- the proportional lengths of the caudal setae; 4- the comparatively small body length.
The species occurs widespread in the Mediterranean Sea (mesopelagic and deep-sea layers down to 3000 m depth , and was found in near-bottom sediment traps in the Ligurian Sea). For Böttger-Schnack O. serrulata appears to be the only representative of the notopus-group in the Mediterranean Sea and seems to havebeen confounded with O. notopus Giesbrecht, 1891 originally described from the Pacific. | | | Last update : 27/01/2015 | |
