Species Subeucalanus pileatus - Plate 7 of morphological figuresissued from : W. Vervoort in Atlantide Rep., 1963, 7. [p.99, Fig.4, a-c]; As Eucalanus pileatus.
Female (off Liberia, Monrovia): a, habitus (dorsal and lateral, respectively) (x45); c, posterior part cephalothorax and urosome (dorsal (x88)).
Nota: The present material presents a considerable degree of variability in the development of the anterior part of the cephalic somite, which is composed of the fused head and the 1st pedigerous somite.. Two extreme cases have been figured; all transitional stages in respect to the development of the head are present in the material. The line of the back shows a distinct though shallow depression opposite the oral field. There is no trace of fusion between head and 1st thoracic somite. Rostrum fairly thick, sausage-shaped, with 2 fine filaments. Urosome composed of 3 parts: the genital complex (fused urosomal somites 1 and 2), the free 3rd abdominal somite and the anal complex (fused abdominal somites 4 and 5 and the caudal rami); the vaious parts have the fommowing proportional lengths: 45:17:38 = 100. The caudal rami are scarcely asymmetrical; the 2nd seta on the left side is lengthened (it reaches the length of the body). A1 23-segmented (1st and 2nd segments, 24th and 25th segments fused)

Mandibular palp long and slender; the fused basis and coxa are styliform and carry 3 fine setae; the endopodite is small and 2-segmented; it articulates with the basipodite in the upper part ofthat segment, its apex just reaches the base of the exopodite; on the endopodite there are 5 free exopodal segments. Mx1: praecoxal arthrite with 9 strong, setiform spines and 4 smaller spines; epipodite with 9 setae; only one of the endites is developed (apparently that ofthe basis), it carries 4 setae; the basal exite is indicated, but no seta is founded on this lobe (in such cases where a seta on the basal exite has been observed itappears to be very small, so is possible overlooked it).; there are 5 setae on the 4th segment, this segment is distinctly separate from the basis; the exopodite is small and has 5 setae in all; the segmentation of the endopodite is indistinct, but apparently 3-segmented, with 4, 4 and 5 setae on the vaious segments.

Rem.: Sometimes confused with S. monachus (Vervoort, 1963 b, p.100), Mazza (1967, p.81) and Roe (1972 a, p.326) underline the difficulty to distinguish this species from E. subcrassus. For Grice (1962, p.181) this species closely resembles S. subcrassus and the two may be prove to be conspecific. The females may be distinguished as follows (Pacific specimens): 1- the size; 2- shape of forehead (in dorsal view anterior end of forehead more produced in S. pileatus than in S. subcrassus; 3- shape of genital segment (S. pileatus greatest diameter at a point approximately 1/2 the length of the segment, S. subcrassus, greatest diameter in lower third of segment).
For Itoh (1970 a, fig.2, from co-ordonates) the Itoh's index value of the mandibular gnathobase = 205, and for Schnack (1989) 430.
Timonin (1971, p.282) considers the trophic interrelations in the equatorial and tropical Indian Ocean, and divides the plankters into 6 trophic groups from the litterature and the results of studies of mouth-parts structure and intestine content. This species is a coarse-filter feeder.
After Ayukai (1987 a, p.584-585), Paffenhöfer & al. (1982), Paffenhöfer & Van Sant (1985) observed that Eucalanus pileatus (= Subeucalanus p.) ingested Thalassiosira weissflogii in a active mode and noted that the filtering rate of this species on beads decreased at a rate similar to that on T. weissflogii when beads and T. weissflogii were offered in mixtures.. Also, reported that the presence of beads (18 µm diameter) did not affect the ingestion rate. Therefore it is presumed that bead interference does not occur when copepods perceive and ingest cells individually. bead interfernce, in turn, may be indirect evide,nce that copepods ingest cells in a passive mode. beads may be accumulated along with cells near the mouthpart of copepods and 'post-capture rejection' of beads seems to be required to ingest cells selectivity. As suggested by Huntley & al. (1983), the time constraint due to post-capture rejection is the possible cause of bead interference.
