Setation of oral parts in females Stephidae (Clausocalanoidea) and ancestral condition of setation.

Issued from : G.A. Boxshall & S.H. Halsey in An Introduction to Copepod Diversity. The Ray Society, 2004, No 166, part. I. [p.199].
Armature formula of swimming legs P1 to P4.
Nota: Endopod of P4 on right side modified in Parastephos: middle endopodal segment elongate, distal segment with strong spinules on surface and with proximal seta on inner margin slender, denticulated and spiniform.
- Female P5 minute ; with coxae and intercoxal sclerite fused to form transverse coxal plate ; each leg tipically uniramous, comprosing basis and single tapering rxopodal process ; basis and process often fused ; process usually ornamented with spinule rows or teeth.
- Male P5 powerfully developed and strongly asymmetrical ; right leg slender, uniramous, 4 to 8-segmented, terminal segment often tapering, spiniform ; left leg uniramous, tipically 5-segmented with 4th segment robust and swollen, distal segment variable in form, often spoon-like ; both 4th and 5th segments often with additional processes ; right leg reduced to 2-segmented rudiment in Miostephos
- Eggs released into waters.

Stephos male leg 5 type, distribution, and depth of habitat of all species for which a male is described.

Nota: S.Y. Moon & al. (2015, p.21) describe two new species: Stephos geoginensis belonging to the ''group IV'' and Stephos projectus belonging to ''group III'', in Korean waters.

Spine and seta formula of swimming legs P1 to P4.

Issued from : E. Suarez-Morales, M.A. Gutiérrez-Aguirre, A. Cervantes-Martinez & T.M. Iliffe in ZooKeys, 671, 2017. [ p.8, Table I].
Armature formula of swimming legs P1-P4 in female and male of Stephos fernandoi from anchialine cave on Cozumed Island (Quintana Roo, Mexico).
Roman numerals indicate spines and Arabic numerals are setae.
Note the difference between the armature formula of this new species and that shown previously by Bradford-Grieve (1999).

Geographic disteibution of Stepphos female fifth leg groups A-F up to date 2017.
Group A lateral seta present, segment apically elongate. B latteral seta present, segment not apically elongate, short. C lateral seta absent, segment apically elongate. D lateral seta present, segment elongate, with additional segmental processes, branched or bifurcate. E lateral seta absent, segment elongate, with outer segmental processes,. F latteral seta absent, segment short, apically truncate or blunt, leg rami symmetrical or asymmetrical.
The authors explore possible distributional trends in thye genus and grouped the structural patterns of the female P5 of 29 species of Stephos. These morphological types were based on the development and armature of the distal segment. as indicated in the figure.
Pattern D was deemed as the most primitive group, followed by groups A and B, also with a lateral seta and an apically elongate or short segment, respectively.The derived pattern are those lacking a lateral seta (E, C and F).
For the authors it is speculated that ancestors of Stephos probably originated in the Australian-Western-Pacific and successively colonized the Mediterranean and the northeastern Atlantic.
