Distribution map of Aetideus mexicanus by geographical zones
|
| | | | | | | Loc: | | | Gulf of Mexico, S China Sea | | | | N: | 2 | | | | Lg.: | | | (206) F: 1,84-1,66; M: 1,68-1,58; {F: 1,66-1,84; M: 1,58-1,68} | | | | Rem.: | mesopelagic.
Species close to A. divergens; Male similar to that of A. armatus.
For Park (1974, p.217) the female is distinguished from A. armatus by long A1 which extend beyond the caudal rami by 2 segments and, particularly, P4 which lack spinules at the base of the coxal seta. The male is very close to that of A. armatus as described by Bradford but seems to differ from it in the proportions of the caudal rami and the 2nd to 4th segments of P5.. However, the importance of these characters in the distibction between the two species is yet to be determined. | | | Last update : 26/12/2017 | |
| | | | It was found at geographical position of long:-115.7725;lat:13.7653 a female of Aetideus mexicanus (1.8 mm) during the Malaspina expedition at 2000-3000 m depth. | |
