Figures

Planche 1 issued from : J.G. Greenwood in Proc. R. Soc. Qd, 1976, 87. [p.21, Fig.7]. As Bestiola similis.
Female (from Moreton Bay, E Australia): a, head (lateral); f, P5; g, P1; h, P2; i, endopod of P3; j, endopod of P4.
Male: b, head (lateral); c, posterior metasomal border with P5 in situ and urosome (lateral left side); d, P5; e, terminal region of P5.
Nota: Tis species differs from B. inermis in absence of spine-rows on posterior exopodal segments 1 and 2 of P2 to P4; absence of spinules on 5th thoracic segment,; smaller size and having longer rostral filaments. .

Species Bestiolina similis - Planche 4 of morphological figures

Planche 4 Issued from : S. Wellershaus in Veröff. Inst. Meeresforsch. Bremerh., 1969, 11 (2). [p.252, Figs.10-20]. As Acrocalanus similis.
Female (from Cochin Backwater, S. India): 10, habitus (lateral; spot on 5th thoracic segment indicates red pigmentation); 11, forehead (lateral); 13, last thoracic segments and urosome (lateral right side); 15, left P4 and P5 (anterior); 16, A1; 19, Mxp; 20, Md.

Male: 12, forehead (anterior and lateral); 14, 3th to 5th thoracic segments and urosome (lateral right side); 17, A1; 18, urosome (dorsal; somewhat crushed).
Scale : single line = 0.1 mm ; double line = 0.05 mm.

Nota female:
- Ratio thorax : abdomen = 3.3-3.5 (for 7 animals).
- A1 reaches the caudal rami (or is even longer); segments 1-2 to 7 without spinules.
- P5 rudimentary.

Nota male: Ratio thorax : abdomen = 2.5-2.6;
- Head of many males bears a transparent swelling above A2.
- A1 symmetrical.

Remarks: Some animals bear a red patch in thoracic segment 5.

Remarques

estuaire, côtière.
Sewell (1929, p.81) considère cette espèce comme un synonyme de Acrocalanus inermis (= Bestiolina inermis), mais n’est pas suivi par Greenwood (1976) qui en souligne les différences.
