Species Temorites longicornis - Plate 1 of morphological figuresissued from : O. Tanaka in Publs Seto Mar. Biol. Lab., 1965, XII (5). [p.382, Fig.242]. As Bathypontia longicornis.
Male: a, habitus (dorsal); b, forehead (left lateral side); c, last thoracic segment and segments 1-2 of urosome; d, rostrum (dorsal view); e, clasping A1; f, masticatory edge of Md; g, P1; h, P2; i, P3; j, P5.

Nota: The abdominal segments and furca are in the proportional lengths as 18:20:20:18:18:6 = 100.
The furcal rami 2/3 as long as wide.
Left A1 extends to the distal margin of the 3rd urosomal segment.


Species Temorites longicornis - Plate 2 of morphological figuresissued from : S. Ohtsuka & R. Huys in Hydrobiologia, 2001, 453/454. [p.447, Fig.3].
Male (from Japan): A, right A1 (this specimen probably showing grasping position), main and supplemental geniculation indicated by large and small arrow, respectively; B, compound segment XVII-XXIV; C, compound segments XIX-XX and XXI-XXIII around hinge; D, compound segment XIX-XX, modified elements arrowed.
Scale = 1 mm (A); 0.1 mm (B-D).


Species Temorites longicornis - Plate 3 of morphological figuresissued from : S. Ohtsuka & R. Huys in Hydrobiologia, 2001, 453/454. [p.448, Fig.4, C].
Male: modified elements on geniculate A1 of compound segment XIX-XX.
Scale bar = 0.01 mm.

See remark in Temorites kanavae.
Boixshall & Halsey (2004, p.72) point out that Harding (1974) found only homogeneous amorphous material in the gut of this species and deduced that bathypontiids are probably carnivores taht grasp their prey.
