Plate 1 issued from : G.D. Grice & E.C. Jones in Pacific Science, 1960, XIV (3). [p.284, Figs.22-41]. Female: 22, habitus (dorsal); 23, idem (lateral right side); 24, 4th and 5th thoracic segments and urosome (dorsal); ; 25 genital segment (ventral); 26, A1 ( segments 1-6); 27, Md (edge biting); 28, Mx1; 29, Mx2; 30, Mxp; 31, 3rd exopod segment of P1; 32, 3rd exopod segment of P2; 33, 3rd exopod segment of P3; 34, 3rd exopod segment of P4; 35, P5. Nota: Proportional lengths of urosomites and furca 40:26:19:15 = 100. Genital segment slightly asymmetrical (the lateral swelling on the left side is smaller and somewhat more expanded than that on the right side); 2 small spines on the dorsal surface.
Male: 36, habitus (dorsal); 37, idem (lateral right side); 38, 4th and 5th thoracic segments and urosome (dorsal); 40, right A1 ( segments 17-19); 41, P5. Nota: Proportional lengths of urosomites and furca 22:24:20:13:9:12 = 100. The genital segment with a bilobed protrusion extending from the right side.
Plate 2 issued from : Mulyadi in Treubia, 1997, 31 (2). [p.94, Fig.9]. Female (from Flores Sea): A, habitus (dorsal); B, angles of the 5th metasomal somite and urosome (dorsal); C, P3; D, P5 (anterior view).
Male: E, habitus (dorsal); F, 5th metasomal somite and urosomal somites 1 and 2 (dorsal); G, 5th metasomal somite and genital somite (lateral right side); H, P5 (posterior view).
Pacif. (central tropical), Pacif. (W equatorial), China Seas (South China Sea), Taiwan (SW), Indonesia-Malaysia, Flores Sea, Indien, South Africa (off Durban, Natal), off Kennya.
The mean female size is 1.952 mm (n = 5; SD = 0.0795), and the mean male size is 1.910 mm (n = 5; SD = 0.0742). The size ratio (male : female) is about 0.98.
Remarks
The species resembles Candacia longimana. According to Mulyadi (1997, p.95) the female resembles C. longimana Claus, but is distinguishable from the latter by the presence a pair of small spines on dorsal surface of urosomal somite 1, the form of P5. In the male by the bilobed protrusion on the right side of urosomal somite 1 and the form of P5.
