Female (from central Red Sea): A-B, habitus (dorsal and lateral, respectively); C, forehead with rostrum (lateral); D, urosome (dorsal); E, A1; F, A2. Scale bars in mm. Nota: - Cephalosome and 1st pedigerous somite completely separated, 4th and 5th pedigerous somites completely fused. - Prosome 2.6 times as long as urosome (from the anterior margin of cephalothorax to the tip of posterior wing). - Posterior margins of prosome symmetrical in dorsal view, tapering to pointed process at each lateral corner, slightly inclined ventrally, reaching nearly halfway along genital double-somite. - Rostrum bifid, with broad bases and small medial subterminal notch. - Urosome 2-segmented. - Genital compound somite symmetrical in dorsal view; ventral surface without any process and with smooth evenly rounded operculum located posteroventrally. - Caudal rami asymmetrical, left one slightly longer than right, about 2.5 times as long as wide. - Urosomites 1 and 2 plus left caudal ramus in proportions 47 : 30 : 23 = 100. - A1 18-segmented, reaching slightly beyond posterior border of genital compound somite. - A2 with coxa bearing plumose seta medially. Basis with 2 distomedial subequal setae. Exopod 5-segmented (setal formula: 0, 3, 1, 1,3). Endopod with seta on 1st segment; 2nd segment with 8 setae on proximal lobe and 6 setae and row of spinules on posterior surface of distal lobe.

Endopod 2-segmented, proximal segment with 3 setae at distomedial corner, distal segment crowned with 6 long setae. - Mx1 praecoxal arthrite with 13 setal elements (9 marginal and 4 on posterior surface). Coxal epipodite with 9 setae; coxal and basal endites each with 3 setae; basal exite with 1 long seta. Exopod bearing 9 setae. Endopod incorporated into basis with 2 setae laterally and 9 setae terminally. - Mx2 with 1st praecoxal endites bearing 4 and 3 (2 long and 1 short) setae, respectively; coxal endites with 2 and 3 (2 long and 1 short) setae respectively. Basal endite with 2 long and 1 medium setae. E,dopod 3-segmented, bearing 1, 1 and 4 spinulate setae. Mxp praecoxa and coxa fused; 3 syncoxal endites well developed carrying strong spinulose setae with setal formula: 2, 3 (2 long and 1 short), 2 (1 long and 1 short). Basis relatively long with 2 distal setae. Endopod 4-segmented (setal formula: 2, 1, 1, 3).

 Issued from : M.M. El-Sherbiny & A.M. Aidaroos in Mar. Biodiv., 2017 [Fig. 4]. Female: A, P1; B, P2; C, P3; D, P4; E, P5. Scale bars in mm. Nota: - P5 slightly asymmetrical (right leg slightly shorter than left leg); coxa and intercoxal sclerite fused. Basis with short seta posteriorly. Exopod 2-segmented, 1st exopodal segment of left leg nearly 1.3 times as long as right one, with small laterally serrated spine and midlength and large medially directed serrated terminal spine. 2nd exopodal segment longer than 1st one, bearing 2 serrate lateral spines (distal one longer and nearly about 2/3 the length of distal spiniform process), and ending as a serrated long, distal spiniform process.

Distribution map of Calanopia tulina by geographical zones

Type locality: 21°39'34.17'' N, 39°00'54.90''. | | | | N: | 1 | | | | Lg.: | | | 1207) F: 1,88-2,22; M: 2,03; {F: 1,88-2,22; M: 2,03} | | | | Rem.: |
For the authors, C. tulina is most closely related to C. media described from the Suez Canal (Gurney, 1927), but does not fit any existing species-group (see Table in the genus Calanopia), nor does it comprise a new group. The presence of C. tulina during night sampling may refer to its diel vertical migration. | | | Last update : 19/06/2023 | |
