Distribution map of Valdiviella oligarthra by geographical zones

| | | | | | | | | | Loc: | | | Antarct. (SE Pacif.), sub-Antarct. (SW Atlant., SE Pacif.), South Africa, off E St. Paul Is., G. of Guinea, off NW Cape Verde Is., Canary Is., Atlant. (tropical, N temperate), Caribbean Sea, Caribbean Colombia, G. of Mexico, Arabian Sea, Laccadive Is., off Seychelles, W Indian, off E Sri Lanka, Bay of Bengal, Flores Sea, Japan (Izu), SE Pacif., off Juan Fernandez Is., Chile (N & S). | | | | N: | 15 | | | | Lg.: | | | (11) F: 10; (29) F: 7,2; M: 6,2; (56) F: 9,57; (70) F: 9,8-9,5; (112) F: 9,78-9,4; (866) M: 6,02-9,08; (1034) F: 9,0; {F: 7,20-10,00; M: 6,02-9,08} | | | | Rem.: | bathypelagic.
Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.) : 0-2000 m.
The number of setae arising from the outer lobe of Mx1 is variable; Steuer gives 7, but that in some specimens the 1st and 2nd may be wanting; in Sewell (1947, p.110) the number is 7 setae.
For Vervoort (1957, p.86) the differences of this species and V. insignis Farran (1908) are extremely slight, so that both species could be regarded as growth classes or races of one species. Vervoort compares both species in the 'Snellius' collection (Eastern part of the Malay Archipelago):
V. oligarthra :
Female: 1- Total lengths 7.8 mm. 2- Postero-lateral thoracic border slightly produced, cut off obliquely. 3- Ventral surface of the 3rd abdominal somite with a patch of long hairs; no teeth along the dorsal part of distal border. 4- A1 reach 2nd thoracic somite. 5- Segmentation between the 1 st and 2 nd exopodal segments of P2 absent. 6- External marginal spine of the 1st exopodal segment of P2 reduced.
Male: 1- Total length 6.2 mm. 2- Endopods of P5 longer than in V. insignis. For structural differences in P5, cf. Sewell (1929, fig.54b) | | | Last update : 22/04/2021 | |
