Nota : - Md : gnathobase with 2 patches of spinules, 1 proximal and 1 distal, adjacent to chewing edge of gnathobase ; basis with 2 setae, patch of spinules medially ; exopod longer than endopod, 5-segmented (terminal segment very short), with 1, 1, 1, 1, 2 seta ; endopod segment 1 with 2 setae, segment 2 with 9 setae. - Mx1 : praecoxal arthrite with 9 terminal claw-like setae, 1+3 setae proximally ; coxal endite with 5 setae, proximal basl endite with 4 setae, distal basal endite with 5 setae ; endopod segments fused into a single segment separate from basis, with 13 setae ; exopod fused to basis with 10 setae ; epipodite with 7 long, 2 short setae. - Mx2 : praecoxa and coxa fused ; praecoxal endites (2), coxal endites (2), and basal endite each with 2 strong and 1 weak setae, all but proximal praecoxal endite armed with denticles near insertion of setae ; endopod 4-segmented, with 2, 2, 2, 3 setae. - Mxp : praecoxa and coxa fused ; praecoxa with 1 small seta ; coxal endites (3) with 2, 3, 3 setae ; basis with 3 setae at mid-length ; endopod segment 1 fused to basis with 2 setae, 5 free segments with 4, 4, 3, 3+1, 4 setae.

 issued from : A.D. McKinnon, J. Corley & S. Duggan in Crustaceana, 2011, 84 (7). [p.836, Fig.2, e-h]. Female: e-h, P1 to P4. Nota : Coxa of P1 to P4 with outer marginal denticles. Endopod 1 with proximal seta inserted adjacent to basis ; distal surface with minute spinules. - P1 : coxa with outer marginal denticles ; basis with tiny relict seta on outer distal margin, inner seta straight ; exopod external spines about as long as their respective segments ; endopod without external lobe, with setules both at mid-length and apically, overlaid by inner seta of basis. The disposition of the seta originating from the basis together with setules on the surface of the endopod represents a poorly-developed Von Vaupel Klein organ, sensu Ferrari & Steinberg (1993), based on the detailed analysis of Von Vaupel Klein (1972). - P4 : anterodistal surface of exopod segment 1 with pore opening. - P5 : absent.

Distribution map of Aetideopsis rhinoceros by geographical zones
|
| | | | | | | Loc: | | | Indian (NW Australia, Scott Reef) | | | | N: | 1 | | | | Lg.: | | | (1083) F: 2,18-2,48; M: 2,15-2,23; {F: 2,18-2,48; M: 2,15-2,23} | | | | Rem.: | After McKinnon & al. (2011, p.832) the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) is the dominant regional oceanographic feature in the Scott Reef area, and delivers warm low salinity water !nto northwest Australia via a number of passages in the Indian Archipelago, Timor-Leste and northern Australia. The near-surface oceanic environment surrounding Scott Reef is typical of the Timor Sea and eastern Indian Ocean (characterized by a well mixed layer of warm (27-30°C), highly transparent water (0-100 m water depth) that is deficient in nutrients. Below this surface mixed, water temperature declines to less than 10°C at 400 m depth.
For McKinnon & al. (2011, p.840) no other species of Aetideopsis has a similar asymmetrical rostral projection (making the female and later copepodites of both sexes of this species very distinctive). In the adult male the rostrum is similar in form to that of the female but smaller and more ventrally directed. In other respects, A. rhinoceros is similar in morphology to A. tumorosa in lacking the external lobe on the endopod of P1 ; the disposition of the seta originating from the basis together with the setules on the surface of the endopod represents a poorly-developed Von Vaupel Klein organ, sensu Ferrari & Steinberg (1993), based on the detailed analysis of Von Vaupel Klein (1972).
The pointed processes of the posterior somite of the prosome in A. rhinoceros do not extend beyond the mid-length of the genital double-somite but extend beyond the mid-length in A. tumorosa ; also, the segment 2 of the mandible endopod has 10 setae rather than the 9 setae in A. tumorosa. The male of A. rhinoceros is superficially similar to that of A. tumorosa but differs in having 1 seta on endopod segment 1 of A2, and 6 rather than 5 setae on the external lobe of the 2nd endopod segment.
