Female (from Fleminger, 1973, p.991, fig.15 b. As Eucalanus langae): A, habitus (dorsal and lateral pattern of integumental organs (black point = sites occuring at 100% frequency, o = 80-99% frequency, x = 10-79% frequency, triangle are sites which are also visible in lateral view but which are assigned to dorsal sets). Female (from south-west Pacific): B, habitus (dorsal); C, urosome (dorsal); D, genital segment (lateral right side); E, Md (mandibular palp).

Male (from Fleminger, 1973, p.994, Fig.18p. As Eucalanus langae): F, urosome and P5 (lateral right side).

Female: a, habitus (dorsal); a', idem (lateral right side).
Dots represent sites occuring at a frequency of 100% in the pooled sample of the species, open circles are sites appearing in 80 to 99%, crosses are sites occupied in from 10 to 79%. Open triangles are sites also visible in lateral view but assigned to tergal sets.

Species Pareucalanus langae - Plate 5 of morphological figures

Plate 5 issued from : J.M. Bradford in N.Z. Jl Mar. Freshw. Res., 1970, 4 (4). [p.352, Figs 6-9]. As Eucalanus attenuatus.
Female (off Kaikoura, New Zealand): 9, urosome (dorsal).

Male: 6, Md (mandibular palp); 7, P5; 8, urosome (dorsal).

Scale bars represent 0.1 mm.

Nota: The New Zealand specimens differ from Giesbrecht's (1892) description in details of the mandibular palp: basipod 2 bears 4 small setae; the endopod of segment 1 has 2 small setae, segment 2 has 5 setae (2 of which are slenderer than the rest). The females and stage V males from New Zealand only the anal segment is hairy and the adult males have a naked urosome.

Remarks

epipelagic - ?.
For Fleminger (1973, p.996) It is difficult to discriminate between P. parki and P. langae in size and appearance including the occurrence of 4 setae on the mandibular basis. Assignment of the sibling populations langae and parki is based on two lines of evidence: 1- significant differences in designated integumental sites involving abdominal segments that undergo modifications with sexual maturation; 2- apparent restriction of each population to temperate zones in opposite hemispheres (see chart above).
According to Bradford-Grieve (1994, p.82) the Southwest Pacific specimens have urosome segments 4-5 ornamented with hairs.

After Hsiao & al. (2004, p.329) thie species is new to the East region of Taiwan.
