Planche 4Calanopia biloba. Female: 1 - P5 exopod 2-segmented. 2 - Cephalic lateral hooks absent. 3 - P5 symmetrical. 4 - Caudal rami symmetrical. 5 - 2nd exopodal segment of P5 longer than first one. 6 - 1st exopodal segment of P5 with 2 spines distally. 7 - Genital compound somite without ventral spines as in C. media. Male: 1 - Left P5 shorter than right one; basis of left P5 not swollen proximally. 2 - Prosomal posterolateral corner symmetrical. 3 - Cephalic lateral hooks absent. 4 - 2nd urosomite asymmetrical with 2 processes on right side. 5 - 2nd urosomite with 2 processes postero-laterally on right side; P5 left leg relatively short not reaching distal end of 1st exopodal segment of right leg.
Surface plankton. For Bowman (1957, p.44) the closest affinities of C. biloba are with its Indo-Pacific relative C. elliptica. The only species which might be expected to accur in company with C. biloba is C. americana.
