Terminologie et abbréviations: voir à Calanus propinquus.

Nota: A la station ''Kerfix'', à l'entrée de la Baie du Morbihan (Ïles Kerguelen), la femelle observée a une longueur totale de 3,36 mm; Pr/Ur = 2; Lg/lg = 2,59. Les Md prédentent 2 dents à gauche, tri-cuspidées à leur partie distale, et 3 à droite, dont 2 bi et tri-cuspidée. Les Mx2 sont conformes à la figure 3b in Bradford (1971, p.125) de même que le segment génital (en vue latérale). Le segment anal est court mais nettement distinct des rames caudales (surure en vue ventrale) et à peine inférieur à la longueur de Ur3. Les proportions de l'urosome en % (pris à gauche: 36/19,3/13,2/11,7/ F = 19,8.
Le mâle a une longueur totale de 3,01 mm; Pr/Ur = 2,13.
Séret (1979, p.147) trouve cette espèce commune autour des Ïles Kerguelen. Les longueurs respectives des femelles et mâles varient de 3,04 à 3,33 mm et 2,74 à 3,08 mm.
Bradford (1970, p.358, figs. 46-51) observe cette espèce proche de la Péninsule de Kaikoura (Nouvelle- Zélande). Elle souligne l'écart des tailles: 2,40 à 4,05 mm. Ultérieurement cet auteur estime que la population initiale comprenait en réalité deux espèces: les petites formes appartenant à H. austrinus, et les plus grandes à la nouvelle espèce H. spinosus (longueur des femelles: 3,4-4,2 mm et 3,1-3,7 mm pour les mâles.
La distinction entre les deux espèces paraît très faible, notamment en ce qui concerne les bords latéraux du segment génital chez la femelle. Les deux exemplaires femelles examinés à la station ''Kerfix'' montrent un segment génital, plus conforme à la fig. 2g in Bradford (1970, p.124) et la maxille présente égalent 12 soies. On note les différences suivantes; le lobe 4 de Mx2 a comme rapport de la plus grande soie sur la plus petite 2,38 et 2,43 (contre 2,9 à 3,9 chez H. spinosus); la forte soie médiane du B2 de Mxp dépasse largement la partie distale de ce segment, atteignant presque la partie distale de l'endopodite 1 (positionné dans l'alignement du B2) chez l'un et atteint la partie distale de B2 chez l'autre (examen après montage).
La seconde femelle présente les caractéristiques suivantes; longueur totale = 3,11 mm; Pr/Ur = 1,88; rapport Lg/lg du Pr = 2,27 ; la séparation entre la tête et leTh1 est très difficile à observer; proportions de l'urosome en %: 41,1/16,7/14,4/9/ F (gauche) 18,7; quelques spinules sur le bord distal médian dorsal du segment génital; 12 spinules sur le bord distal dorsal de l'Ur2, 8 spinules sur le bord distal de Ur3. Les Md sont identiques pour les deux examplaires et tout à fait semblables à celles figurées in Sars (1903, Pl. LXXXI) pour H. norvegicus.
Bradford (1971b, p.25) signale l'existence de H. austrinus dans la mer de Ross, dont les tailles des femelles et des mâles sont respectivement de 3,55-3,8 mm et 2,9-3,2 mm, et discute de la validité des espèces H. norvegicus, H. abyssalis, H. autralis, H. pacificus et H. tanneri.
Zvereva (1972, p.256, fig.4) signale H. austrinus surle littoral antarctique (stations Molodezhnaya, 45° E). Le segment génital de la figure 4a et 4c correspond mieux à celui de Bradford (1971b, p.124) qu\"à ceux des individus récoltés à ''Kerfix'', par contre l'épine médiane de B1 n'atteint pas la partie distale de B2.

Distribution map of Heterorhabdus austrinus by geographical zones
Species Heterorhabdus austrinus - Distribution map 3issued from A. de C. Baker in 'Discovery' Rep., 1954, 27. [p.215, Fig.5].
Occurrence of Heterorhabdus austrinus in all longitudes around Antarctic zone of the Southern Ocean.
The percentage frequency of occurrence in samples taken within every 20° of longitude.

Nota: During the 'Discovery' investigations some thousands of plankton samples have been taken from stations spread over the whole of the Southern Ocean at all seasons of the year, the majority south of the Antarctic Convergence. An arbitrary selection of samples has been made from hauls between the surface and a depth of 250 m, which means that they have been taken from within the limits of the Antarctic surface water.
The data suggest that the Southern Ocean is an uninterrupted circumpolar belt with more or less uniform conditions prevailing in east and west directions, the range of planktonic species of the Antarctic surface water may be expected to extend as far as these uniform conditions persist, i.e to be circumpolar.

Heterorhabdus austrinus var. Farran,1929 (F,M)
