Species Euaugaptilus latifrons - Plate 1 of morphological figuresissued from : O. Tanaka & M. Omori in Publs Seto Mar. Biol. Lab., 1974, XXI (3/4). [p.228, Fig.16].
Female: a, forehead (lateral); b, last thoracic segment and urosome (lateral left side); c, idem (dorsal); d, Md; e, Mx1; f, Mx2; g, Mxp; h, P1; i, exopod of P2; j, P5.
Nota: The urosome segments and furca are in the proportional lengths as 41:11:25:23 = 100. Prosome and urosome are in the proportional lengths as 77:23 A1 reaches to the tip of the furca.
The specimen from the Izu region differs in some details from Sars's (1925) and Sewell's (1932) descriptions. A specimen from the Gulf of Guinea , provided by Vervoort, has 26 setae on the 2nd basal segment and the endopod of Mx2, the two basal segments of Mxp have 0, 0, 2, 2 and 2 setae.

Female: l, mandibular teeth.

Female (from off W Sri Lanka): a, habitus (dorsal); b, urosome (dorsal); c, Md; d, Mx1; e, Mxp; f, P1; g, P2; h, P5.


Species Euaugaptilus latifrons - Plate 5 of morphological figuresissued from : S. Ali-Khan & J. Ali-Khan in Crustaceana, 1984, 47 (3). [p;306, Figs.13-20].
Female (from 24°09'N, 64°27'E): 13, forehead (ventral); 14, Md (mandibular palp); 15, Md (biting edge); 16, Mx1; 17, Mx2; 18, terminal portion of seta (enlarged; 19, P1; 20, P5.

Nota: Exopod of A2 about 1/3 of the length of the endopod as in Sars (1925), while Sewell (1932) stated that it resches halfway. There is incomplete fusion of only segments 7 and 8 of the exopod (as in Sars' specimen). Internal lobe 1 of Mx1 with 3 + 3 setae (Sars shows 3 + 2, and Sewell 3+ 1); lobes 2 and 3 absent; external lobe show 3 setae (as in Sewell's figure, but Sars depicted 4). The greatest difference has been noted in the total number of setae on basipod 2 and endopod of Mx2 together: 22 (Sewell's figure shows 35 and Sars's 15).


Species Euaugaptilus latifrons - Plate 6 of morphological figuresissued from : O. Tanaka & M. Omori in Publs Seto Mar. Biol. Lab., 1974, XXI (3/4). [p.228, Fig.16].

Nota: The urosome segments and furca are in the proportional lengths as 41:11:25:23 = 100. Prosome and urosome are in the proportional lengths as 77:23 A1 reaches to the tip of the furca.

Female: Numbers of setae on the various lobes of the Mx2.
Nota: In the Mx2 of some of these females lobe 6 and the endopod cannot be distinguished, and in one specimen there is some variation between the left and right side.

Rem.: meso-bathypelagic. Known to occur at depths between 400 and 750 m (Matthews, 1972).
Vervoort (1965, p.144) considers his material from the Expedition agree better with Sewell's description (1932, p.323) than with Sars' account (1925, p.295).
First occurrence in Indonesian waters by Matsuura & al. (2010) .
