Plate 5 Issued from : O.E. Garrote, E. Suarez-Morales & A. Morales-Ramirez in Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 2015, 128 (2). [p.142, Fig.4].
Male: A, habitus (dorsal); B, urosome (lateral); C, right A1, proximal segments, functional segments numbered; D, same , distal segments; E, details of rounded process on inner margin of penultimate segment; F, P5; G, detail of distal part of left P5; H, same (paratype specimen).
Scale bars: A, B = 0.5 mm; C, D, F, H = 0.25 mm; E, G = 0.1 mm.
Nota: Prosome about 4.5 times as long as urosome (caudal rami excluded).
- 5th pedigerous somite with slightly asymmetrical lateral expansions, each side with small lateral sensillum.
Urosome 5 somites.
- Genital somite asymmetrical, left side swollen, right side unmodifies.
- Anal somite symmetrical, half as long as preceding somite
- Caudal rami slightly asymmetrical, left ramus shorter than right ramus, armed as in female.
- Right A1 with 12 segments, geniculate between functional segments 10-11, reaching middle of 3rd pedigerous somite.
- P5 asymmetrical, uniramous. Left leg P5 relatively short, slender, basis ans coxa fused, subrectangular, with single minute seta on medial surface; exopod 2-segmented, segment 1 cylindrical, about 1.5 times as long as basipod, with short spiniform seta on outer distal margin, 2nd exopodal segment with 3 short setal elements on outer margin, segment bearing 3 digitiform processes apically, middle process longest, inner process covered with dense patch of spinules, remaining 2 processes smooth. Right leg P5 coxa subquadrate, naked; basis cylindrical, with long plumose seta inserted in proximal 1/3 of segment; exopod with 2 segments, forming robust, widely open chela, 1st exopodal segment bearing 4 different processes, proximal strong conical process curving inward (thumb), adjacent 2nd proximal process slender, hook-like, with inner surface ornamented with shallow cuticular ridges, medial processs on segment represented by thumb-like process (arrowed in fig.4F), and an adjacent low rounded protuberance. Distal spiniform element present on distal position of 1st exopodal segment. 2nd exopodal segment forming distally elongate finger of chela, segment distally broadened, spatulate, unbranched, armed with slender proximal seta, 2 spiniform elements on inner surface plus 1 short distal seta.
