Sars in Résult. Camp. Scient. Prince Albert I, 69, pls.1-127 (1924). [Pl.CXXI, figs.1-18]. As Paraugaptilus buchani. Female (from W Canary Is. & Azores): 1, habitus (dorsal); 2, idem (lateral left side); 3, forehead (lateral); 4, rostrum; 5, A1; 6, A2; 7, left Md; 8, right Md (masticartory edge); 9, Mx1; 10, Mx2; 11, Mxp; 12, P1; 13, P2; 14, P3; 15, P5. Nota: Head equal ½ prosome length and ending by a obtuse spurt. Rostrum as small and narrow tongue-like with 2 long thin filaments. Posterior lobes of the last pedigerous segment reduced, truncated, do not pass beyond the beginning of the genital segment. Urosome equal 1/3 prosome length. Genital segment short,about the length of the two following segments together, slightly swollen bfore the middle. Caudal rami large, about 2 times length than wide, outer edge naked, inner edge with fine hairs. ; Setae relatively short, little unequal, all with ciliary. A1 pass just beyond the prosome length. A2 with the endopod very thin, 2 times the exopod length, the length of the distal segment pass considerably the proximal. Mx1 with outer lobe short and thick, bearing 5 spines at the extremity, diminishing successively in length inside, epipodite with 6 setae, endopod naked at the ending and the little endite at base without apical seta. P5, rudimentary, each leg bearing 1 terminal ciliated seta and 1 short seta outside. Male: 16, habitus (dorsal); 17, P5; 18, anal segment and caudal rami (dorsal). Nota : P5 asymmetical, the left leg more strong, 3-segmented, bearing on the distal segment 2 movable spines forming a grip. Endopods rudimentary, the left little more large than the right, with a slight bilobated indication at the extremity.

See remaks from Deevey (1973, p.254) concerning the similarity between the two species.
Furuhashi (1965, p.23) reports this form in the seas surrounding Japan. | | | Last update : 05/02/2015 | |
