 Issued from : V.R. Alekseev & A. Souissi in Zootaxa, 2011, 2767. [p.53, Fig.9, C, D]. Eurytemora carolleeae (Photo: Mrs N. Sukhikh): C, female genital somite with wing-like outgrowth; D, male P5 with arrow indicating left basipod. Nota: Compare with Eurytemora affinis (Poppe, 1880). Females E. carolleeae are equiped with wing-like outgrowths of the genital double-somite that significantly increases the proportionbetween anterior and posterior parts of the somite.

 Issued from : V.R. Alekseev & A. Souissi in Zootaxa, 2011, 2767. [p.51, Table 2, 3, 4]. Table 2: Selected morphometric indexes in females of E. carolleeae Alekseev & Souissi, 2011 from the type locality. Mean + standard deviation (Min-Max). In bold - significant difference with p<0.05.* Only in one female among 56 examined, possibly an aberrant specimen. Table 3: Selected morphometric indexes for E. carolleeae in male from the type locality. Mean + standard deviation (Min-Max). Table 4: Selected morphometric indexes in female and male E. carolleeae from the type locality (Chesapeake Bay, USA). Nota: P5 has a very small (tiny) spine in the 2nd exopodal segment placed between two distal spines. The length of this tiny spineis less than the width of the nearest spines, or about 10% of the short distal spine length (Table 2). In males of E. carolleeae the caudal rami are naked on both dorsal and ventral sides; left rudimentary P5 with exopod of cylindrical shape, and length/width proportion not less than 1.25 times.

Type locality: 39°23.81' N, 76°03.32' W. | | | | N: | 1 | | | | Lg.: | | | (1197) F: 1,655; M: 1,780; {F: 1,655; M: 1,780} | | | | Rem.: | After Alekseev & Souissi (2011, p.41) the new species from the Chesapeake bay (USA) belongs to the Atlantic clade of the Eurytemora allinis complex, outlined by previously publisher molecular work but poorly characterized morphologically. Several important morphological characters separate the North American R. affinis from the European clade that include both sexes: a large outside orientated tooth on the mandible, and cleatly observable seta segmentation in the caudal rami and swimming legs. Unlike E. affinis, the newly described species possesses wing-like outhgrowths on the genital double-somite and a very small spine near the distal seta insertion point in P5 in females. In males, the specific characters include naked dorsal and ventral sides of the caudal rami, and a cylindrical shape of exopod on the left P5, in contrast to a triangular shape of the segment in E. affinis.
