 issued from : W. Vervoort in Atlantide Report., 1963, 7. [p.169, Fig.17]. As Euchaeta gracilis. Male (from Angola-Sierra Leone): a, extremity of exopodite of left P5 (x145); b, P5 and urosome (left side) (x28). Nota: The males found together with female differ in minor particulars fro Sars' figures and descriptions. The lamella on the 2nd left exopodal segment of P5 is not hillowed, but it is distinctly cultriform and terminates in a strong internally curved, dagger-shaped point. There is a row of strong, acute spines on the posterior aspect of the 2nd left exopodal segment, preceded by a strong spine. There is much variability in the size of the spines of the internal row and the length of the cultriform process. The length of the dagger-shaped end of the lamella varies greatly; some males, that have a strongly developed dagger-shaped spine, approach Euchaeta norvegica Boeck fairly closely. Specimens with a short dagger-shaped end of the lamella approach the type figured by Sars (1925).

 issued from : C. With in The Danish Ingolf-Expedition, 1915, III (4). [p.186, Text-Fig.55]. As Euchaeta gracilis. Female (W coast of Ireland): Last thoracic segment and genital segment (left side); Nota: The lateral corners are not regularly rounded, but somewhat squarely truncate. The genital segment is distinctly shorter than the following two, but 1.5 as long as the second, with a very prominent genital protuberance. Genital area surrounded by a chitinous system. A1 extend scarcely to the end of the thorax; segment 20 as long as the segment 24-25, and the 23 as long as the 16. The outer lobe of Mx1with 9 bristles, of which the 2 proximal are moderately short; the basipod 3 has 4 setae and the three segments of endopod have 3 setae each. The outer seta of exopod 1 is represented by a small protuberance.

According to Vervoort (1963 b, p.169, the males can be confused with those of E. tonsa Giesbrecht, 1895 (= Paraeuchaeta tonsa), or E. pseudotonsa Fontaine, 1967 (= Paraeuchaeta pseudotonsa).
For With (1915, p.186) the Sars' description is rather incomplete. From A. Scott's description it differs by the shorter A1 and the hairy ventral surface of the abdominal segments 3-4. From Wolfenden's description of most of his specimens it differs by 9 instead of 7 setae in outer lobe of Mx1, and by the comparatively shoter seta 2 of exopod 3 of P2.
The occurrences given by C.B. Wilson (1950) in the Pacific (marked {{...}}) are not maintained by Park (1994, 1995). | | | Last update : 28/10/2022 | |
