| | | | | | | Ref.: | | | Brugnano, Celona & Zagami, 2010 (p.2, Descr.F, figs.F, Rem.) |  Issued from : C. Brugnano, A. Celona & G. Zagami in Vie et Milieu-Life and Environment, 2010, 60 (1). [p.3, Fig.2]. Female (from Faro Lake, Sicily): A, habitus (dorsal); B, urosome (ventral); C, A1. Nota : Cephalosome/urosome length ratio 1.9. Cephalosome and 1st pedigerous somite separate, 4th and 5th pedigerous somites separate. Strong pointed rostrum, ventrally. Urosome 4-segmented. Genital double-somite slightly asymmetrical, characterized by annular narrowing on posterior part ; ornamented woth 1 row odf minute spinules on either side ; posterodorsal and ventral margins naked ; gonopores and copulatory pores paired, openingt in common semicircular slit. 2nd urosomite with distal margin naked. 3rd urosomite with dorsal and ventral distal margins finely serrate. Anal somite short, partially telescoped into penultimate somite. Caudal rami symmetrical, longer than wide, fusrnished with setules alongt inner( margin and armed with 6 setae (sta I lacking, seta II cuneiform, seta V longest, seta VII located dorsally at distomedial angle of ramus). A1 16-segmented.
