Planche 1 issued from : G.D. Grice & K. Hulsemann in J. Zool., 1965, 146. [p.233, Fig.9]. As Chiridiella brachydactyla. Female: a, habitus (dorsal); b, idem (lateral right side); c, Md (mandibular palp); e, Md (cutting edge); f, Mx1; g, Mx2; ; h, mx2 (another view); i, spine on lobe 4 of Mx2; j, spine on lobe 5 of Mx2; k, Mxp; l, P1; m, P2; n, P3; o, P4; p, details of tooth structure on terminal spine of P4. The present specimen deviates from the description of C. brachydactyla Sars (1925). Two external spines are present on the exopod of P1 (as in C. subaequalis). The head and 1st thoracic segment are fused. On the external side of the first four lobes of Mx2 arise conspicuous short spinules.
Planche 2 issued from : G.B. Deevey in Bull. Mar. Sc., 1974, 24 (2). [p.452, Fig.7]. Immature Male (from 32°10'N, 64°30'W): a-b, habitus (dorsal and lateral with A1, respectively); c, A2; d, P5; e, Md (masticatory blade; f, Md (mandibular palp); g, Mx1; h, P1. Upper scale for parts a and b; lower scale for parts c-h. Scales in mm.
Planche 3 issued from : G.B. Deevey in Bull. Mar. Sc., 1974, 24 (2). [p.453, Fig.8]. Immature Male: a, Mxp; b, Mx2 (two distal lobes separated from proximal three). Scale in mm.
Planche 4 Issued from : E.L. in Proc. Zool; Inst. RAN, 1996, 268. [p.97, Fig.72]. After Grice & Hulsemann, 1965. Female: Mx2
Planche 5 Issued from : E.L. in Proc. Zool; Inst. RAN, 1996, 268. [p.98, Fig.73]. After Grice & Hulsemann, 1965. Female: Mxp.
Planche 6 Issued from : E.L. in Proc. Zool; Inst. RAN, 1996, 268. [p.98, Fig.73]. After Grice & Hulsemann, 1965. Female: P1 (Le = external lobe).
Planche 7Chiridiella kuniae female: 1 - Mx2 with 5 endites. 2 - Endites not strongly modified in comparison with typical; setation of first-fifth endites are nearly of the same size, without pincers-like spines. 3 - Endopod of P1 with external lobe.
Planche 8Chiridiella kuniae female ; 1 - Mx2 lobes without spines arranged as pincers. 2 - 4th and 5th lobes of Mx2 with enlarged hooklike spines. 3 - P1 exopod with 2 edge spines. 4 - Fan of thick spinules on lobes 1-4 of Mx2.
