Distribution map of Stephos grievae by geographical zones

| | | | | | | Loc: | | | Lenga Pit, Mljet Island (S Adriatic)
Type locality: 42° 47' 42.2'' N, 17.5° 23' 22.3'' E. | | | | N: | 1 | | | | Lg.: | | | (1196)* F: 0, 60-0,67; M: 0,55-0,62.
* : excluding caudal rami. | | | | Rem.: | Lenga Pit (Mljet Island) is about 100 m from the shoreline, there is a small 9 m deep lake at the end of the cave (Salinity in the water column below depths of 3 m is between 21.00 and 39.00, temperature approximately 15.5°C.
For Krsinic (2015, p.5) the species with male P5 is typical of species group IV (see Bradford-Grieve, 1999). | | | Last update : 12/05/2016 | |
