In some specimens small sensilla are visible on antennule proximal segments I-XI (marked by arrows).

Scale bars: 0-.5 mm (a-d, f-i); 0.1 mm (e).

- A2: coxa with 1 seta, basis with 1 seta, exopod incompletely 9 segmented (2nd and 3rd proximal segments partly separate) with 1-1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, and 3 setae; 1st endopodal segment without setae, 2nd with 8+6 setae.
- Md: gnathobase cutting edge with 6 teeth, seta and needle-like spinules; basis with 1 seta; exopod 5-segmented with 1, 1, 1, 1, and 2 setae; endopod segment 1 with 1 seta, segment 2 with 5 setae (4 long and 1 additional very short and reduced un some specimens).
- Mx1: praecoxal arthrite with 9 terminal and 3 posterior setae with tiny spinules at bases of inner terminal setaz; coxal endite with 4 setae; proximal basal endite with 2 setae, distal basal endite with 4 setae (in one specimen of additional material, left limb with deviating setation of 5-6 setae); endopod with 15-16 setae; exopod with 11 setae; coxal epipodite with 7 long and 1 short setae (in one specimen of additional material, left limb with deviating setation of 9 setae), its common maxillule setation formula: 9+3, 4, 2, 4, 15-16, 11, 8.


Species Pseudeuchaeta vulgaris - Plate 5 of morphological figuresIssued from : E.L. Markhaseva, I. Mohrbeck & J. Renz in Mar. Biodv., 2017, 47. [p.294, Fig.5].

Distribution map of Pseudeuchaeta vulgaris by geographical zones
Loc:
N Pacif. (off NW Clipperton Islands

Type locality: 13°49.9' N, 116°34.5' W
N: 1
Lg.:
(1213) F: 7,00-7,60; {F: 7,00-7,60}
Rem.: Abyssal (about 4000-4400 m) samples close to the seabed.
For Markhaseva & al. (2017, p.293) the differential diagnosis of this species from its congeners is: 1- Posterior corners are pointed, directed dorsally and more or less diverging; 2- A1 reaches the middle length of posterior border of genital double-somite; 3- Md endopodal segment 2 with 5 (rarely 4) setae: 4- Mx1 coxal endite with 4 setae; proximal basal endite with 2 setae; distal basal endite with 4 setae; 5- Sensory appendage on coxal endite of Mxp syncoxa shorter than the two distal setae; 6- P1 exopodal segment 1 without lateral spine.
The species name ''vulgaris'' refers to the morphology of the species, which is typical for the genus Pseudeuchaeta.
