Second maxilla 'Mx2) and maxiliped (Mxp) from Undeucharta major.
Scale bars: 200 µm.
Nota: The C and N values coincided with the plots assumed for potential consumers of oncaeid copepods and epipelagic particulate organic matter (POM). The microscopic gut-content analysis indicated the ingestion of crustaceans fragments and absence of autofluorescence in all specimens, as well as the presence of maxillipeds of oncaeid copepods and A2 of corycaeid copepods in many specimens. The observations indicate that the species mainly ingested crustaceans, diatom particles may be derived from the gut contents of ingested zooplankton. Oncaeids are one of the most numerous groups in oceaniccopepod communities, particularly in meso- and bathypelagic zones (c.a Böttger-Schnack, 1996; Yamaguchi & al., 2002).
Compare appendage structure and setal armement with Euchirella rostrata, Chirundina streetsii, Pleuromamma xiphia, Scaphocalanus echinatus, Scottocalanus helenae, Scottocalanus securifrons, Spinocalanus magnus and calanus sinicus for interpreted particles catching. |

* The lengths indicate by Brodsky, 1950 (1967) for males and females appear reversed. | | | | Rem.: | epi, meso & bathypelagic.
Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.): 50-750-2000 m.
Observed off Macaé (S Brazil) by Dias & al. (2010) in Intermediate Antarctic water.
Sargasso Sea: 500-2000 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, station "S"). 510-530 m (Pipe & Coombs, 1980 at 60°N, 07°W).
For Vervoort (1957, p.72) the male from South Tasmania (44°35’S, 147°35’E) compared with the specimens in the ‘Siboga’ and ’Snellius’ collections shows : a distinct crest present in both females and male in the adult stage ; in the female the hooked spine on the right side of the genital opening varies considerably in length and development ; a certain amount of variability is also to be observed in the development of the postero-lateral thoracic border. In the ‘Snellius’ collection (from Indonesia : Ombai Strait) a female closely resembles the description and figures of Mesundeuchaeta asymmetrica Wolfenden (1911) ; the most striking character, according to Wolfenden, is the shape of the last thoracic somite and of the genital somite. Vervoort is of the opinion that Wolfenden’s Mesundeuchaeta asymmetrica is identical with Undeuchaeta major.
For Grice & Hulsemann (1968, p.329) the 1st basipodal segments of P4 examined in 28 females show: most of them have 2 or 3 small spines on these segments, in only 2 specimens are the spines absent.
After Ponomareva & Suslyayev (1980, p.196) the average rates of movement is 3.8-29.1 m/hr.
Timonin (1971, p.282) considers the trophic interrelations in the equatorial and tropical Indian Ocean, and divides the plankters into 6 trophic groups from the litterature and the results of studies of mouth-parts structure and intestine content. This species is omnivorous. After Sano & al. (2013, p.21) this species is considered omnivore/detritivores based on previous studies, in Sagami Bay the species is assumed to be carnivores, particularly feeding on oncaeid copepods.
