Distribution map of Fosshagenia ferrarii by geographical zones
Loc:
Bahamas Islands (Middle Caicos Island: anchialine cave)
N: 1
Lg.:
(392) F: 0,7-0,6; M: 0,705-0,687; {F: 0,60-0,70; M: 0,69-0,71}
Rem.: Brackish water (S = 23 p.1000).
For Fosshagen & Iliffe (2004, p.352) F. ferrrarii has been re-examined from its type locality. The major differences with F. suarezi are in the sexual characters of the urosome and P5.
