Scale bars: 200 µm (A, B); 50 µm (C, D). Nota: Prosome 5-segmented.

Distribution map of Stephos geojinensis by geographical zones
|
| | | | | | | Loc: | | | S Korea (Geogin fishery port, Gosung-gun, Gangwon-do).
Type locality: 38°26'58''N, 128°27'46''E. | | | | N: | 1 | | | | Lg.: | | | (1179) F: 0,883; M: 0,815-0,827; {F: 0,883; M: 0,815-0,827} | | | | Rem.: | For S.Y. Moon & al. (2015, p.27) the species falls within ''group IV'' (see Bradford-Grieve, 1999 a) after the morphology of the male P5, characterized by a 4-segmented right leg combined with a narrow 4th segment
S. projectus and S. geojinensis are easily differentiated based on the ornamentation of both the female genital double-somite and genital operculum; the morphology of the distal segment of the male right P5; the presence/absence of a tiny pointed process on the distomedial angle of 2nd segment of female P5; and the condition (seta or spine) of the lateral armature element on distal segment of female P5, among other features. | | | Last update : 17/11/2015 | |
