Genital somite nearly twice as long as wide, with elongate spermathecae, left one often darker. Caudal rami about 6-7 times as long as wide.

Female: 32, second leg (exopod 3 omitted); 33, exopod 2-3 of second leg 34, third foot (exopod 3 omitted); 35-36, exopod 3 of third leg; 37, coxopod and basipod of fourth leg; 38, endopod of fourth leg; 39, exopod of fourth leg.

P1 basipod with curved anterior setae and 1 lateral distal seta ; endopod segment 1 with row of spinules in the medial distal corner ; endopod segment 2 with semicircular sclerotized ridge. Endopod segment 1 of P2 with 2 well developed hook-like spines, distal one subdivided, with horns nearly equal in length.


Species Metridia ferrarii - Plate 4 of morphological figuresissued from : E.L. Markhaseva in Zoosyst. Rossica, 2001, 9 (1). [p.56, Figs.40-46].
Male: 40, 41, habitus (dorsal and left lateral); 42, cephalosome (dorsal view); 43, cephalosome (right lateral view); 44, cephalosome (ventral view); 45, posterior prosomal and genital somite (dorsal view); 46, caudal rami (dorsal view).

Nota : Prosome 1.08-1.20 times as long as urosome. Lateral collar not developed. Genital somite with small projection on the left covered with spinules. Caudal rami about 7 times as long as wide. Left A1 24-segmented, reaching the end of caudal rami (or exceeding it by 2 distal segments) ; right A1 21-segmented, geniculated, reaching the middle length or the end of caudal rami. Oral parts and swimming legs as in females.


Species Metridia ferrarii - Plate 5 of morphological figuresissued from : E.L. Markhaseva in Zoosyst. Rossica, 2001, 9 (1). [p.57, Figs.47-59].
Male: 47, left A1 (segments 1-6; 48, left A1 (segments 7-11); 49, left A1 (segments 12-15); 50, left A1 (segments 16-19); 51, left A1 (segments 20-24); 52, right A1 (segments 1-12); 53, right A1 (segments 13-15); 54, right A1 (segments16-18); 55, right A1 (segments 19-21); 56, fifth legs; 57, exopod 3 of right foot; 58, right fifth leg (coxopod, basipod and exopod 1-2); 59, left fifth leg (exopod 2-3).

Nota : P5 with spinules at coxopod on the left longer segment ; left basipod with spinules in the medial distal part . Left and right basipods with lateral setae supplied with setules distally. Left P5 exopod segment 1 with small spine in lateral distal part of the segment ; exopod segment 2 with hairs proximally and 1 proximal setule ; exopod segment 3 with 2 distal setules ; right P5 seopod segment 1 with small lateral spine and long attenuation exceeding the length of exopod segment 2, the latter supplied with tiny spinule in proximal half of the segment ; exopod segment 3 with 1 and 2 tiny spinules in distal part.


Species Metridia ferrarii - Plate 6 of morphological figuresissued from : E.L. Markhaseva in Zoosyst. Rossica, 2001, 9 (1). [p.52, Figs.12-18].
Female: 12, left A1 segments 1-8); 13, idem (segments 9-12); 14, idem (segments 13-15); 15, idem (segments 13-15); 15, idem (segments 21-24); 17, right A1 (segments 1-6); 18, A2.

Nota : A1 24-segmented, exceeding the body length by 3-5 distal segments, setal elements are setae and aesthetascs, often difficult to distinguish between them as many setae are weakly sclerotized and apparently transformed into aesthetascs.
