Species Yrocalanus kurilensis - Plate 1 of morphological figuresIssued from : J. Renz, E.L. Markhaseva & S. Laakmann in Zool. J. Linnean Soc., 2018, XX. [p.20, Fig.11]
Female (from 43.2333°N, 153.9666°E): A-B, habitus (dorsal and lateral, respectively); C, rostrum (ventral view); D-E, urosome (ventral and lateral, respectively); F, A1 (blacked out setae represent a different kind of short setae present on several segments).
Scale bars: A-B, F: 0.5 mm; C-R: 0.1 mm.

Nota:
- Prosome 4.6 times as long as urosole.
- Rostrum 2-pointed.
- Cephalosome and pediger 1 partly fused, pedigers 4-5 separate.
In lateral view, posterolateral corners of prosome extended posteriorly into points, reaching distal margin of the genital double-somite.
- Urosome 4-segmented.
- Genital double somite symmetrical, with short spinules distolaterally on right side and ventromedial genital opening; in lateral view seminal receptacles elongated, turned upward.
- Dorsal posterior margins of genital double somite to 3rd urosomal somite each with row of spinules.
- Caudal rami symmetrical, with row of spinules on inner margin and with 2 lateral setae (II and III), 3 terminal setae (IV-VI) and 1 dorsal seta (VII).
- A1 24-segmented, extending to distal border of pediger 2.

- Mx1: praecoxal arthrite with 9 terminal spines, 4 posterior and 1 anterior satae; posterior and anterior surface of praecoxal arthrite with small spinules; coxal endite with 6 setae, coxal epipodite with 8 setae; proximal basal endite with 4 setae, distal basal endite with 5 setae; endopod with 14 setae; exopod with 11 setae.
- Mx2: proximal praecoxal endite bearing 3 setae plus attenuation in holotype, 4 setae plus attenuation in paratype, distal praecoxal endite with 3 setae; coxal endites with 3 setae each; coxa with 1 outer seta; proximal basal endite with 3 setae; remaining endopod with 8 setae. All endites except for praecoxal endite with surface spinules.


Species Yrocalanus kurilensis - Plate 3 of morphological figuresIssued from : J. Renz, E.L. Markhaseva & S. Laakmann in Zool. J. Linnean Soc., 2018, XX. [p.22, Fig.13]
Female: A, Mxp; B, P1 (with endopod figured separately); C, P2; D, P3 (with endopod figured separately); E, P4 (with endopod figured separately).
Scales bars: A-E: 0.1 mm.

Nota: Mxp: syncoxa with 1 seta on proximal praecoxal endite, 2 setae on middle endite, and 3 setae on distal praecoxal endite; coxal endite with 3 setae; syncoxa with row of spinules. Basis with 3 distal setae; endopod with 2, 4, 4, 3, 3 + 1, and 4 setae and rowo of spinules at setae basis on segment 3 and 4.
