For Vervoort (1963b, p.174) many indubitable individuals of this species occur in the Atlantide collection. The female is easily recognized by the short, squat cephalothorax and the short urosome; the structure of the genital swelling in ventral aspect is very characteristic. In the male the structure of the left exopodite of P5 may be used for identification; the lamella on the 2nd exopodal segment of the left P5 is not hollowed but flat; both its edges are set with small, fairly obtuse teeth, gradually increasing in size near apex; the end of the serrated lamella reaches two thirds the length of the 3rd exopodal segment; this segment is distinctly swollen and carries a rounded, haired tubercle at its base; the digitiform process is cylindrical and just as long as the serrated lamella; there seems to be no spine on the 2nd left exopodal segment of P5 at the base on the serrated edge of the lamella. Though Tanaka states that only 5 setae are present on the epipodite of Mx1, there is invariably 7 setae to be present, 5 of which are large and strong, 2 are very thin and small (these 2 easily escape observation).
Lapernat (comm. pers., 2000) confirms the presence of this species off Mauritania.
A confusion is possible between this species and P. mexicana.
The japanese specimens resemble E. scotti Farran but can be distinguished from it. Wolfenden's scotti has only 5 setae on the outside lobe1 of Mx1 (Tanaka, 1958, p.351).
Park (1995, p.46) found this species in the South Atlantic, between 15°S and 35°S, in the Pacific along the west coast of South America between 3°N and 35°S, in equatorial waters, the central North Pacific at 31°N, the Malay Archipelago, the South and East China seas, off the Pacific coast of Japan up to 35°N. The species was also found in the eastern Indian Ocean between 5°S and 14°S, in the Bay of Bengal. However, it has not been found in the North Atlantic. | | | Last update : 23/11/2020 | |
