Distribution map of Mesaiokeras heptneri by geographical zones
|
| | | | Loc: | | | NW Atlant. (off Cape Cod) | | | | N: | 1 | | | | Lg.: | | | (407) F: 0,46-0,4; M: 0,4-0,38; {F: 0,40-0,46; M: 0,38-0,40} | | | | Rem.: | hyperbenthic. (220-235 m).
For Fosshagen (1978, p;181) M. hepneri may be considered the most primitive member of the genus: A1 female 24; exopod of the P1 bears 1 spine on the outer margin of the 1st and 2nd segments; it is the only known species with both P5 present in the female and a 3-segmented right P5 in the male; and there is less reduction in M. hepneri than in the other species. | | | Last update : 21/04/2016 | |
