Rem.: For Vervoort (1963 b, p.120) the specimen referred by Tanaka to M. gracilis (Wolfenden, 1911) has a symmetrical genital somite, with a moderately produced genital swelling without tubercle on the right side. There is a broad row of acicular spines on the posterior aspect of the coxa of P4 and spines reach slightly beyond the articulation of the coxa with the basis. Tanaka's identification of this specimen with Wolfenden's Oxycalanus gracilis must be mainly based on the development of the acicular spines on the coxa of P4; though in Wolfenden's specimens this row was distinctly narrower, they did reach the articulation between coxa and basis (Ll.25, fig.4). The description and figure (Pl.25, fig.12) of the genital somite in the Vervoort's opinion are not detailed enough to warrant such a conclusion. Vervoort does not attach much importance to the development of the acicular spines, the more so since specimens, intermediate in this respect between M. typica and M. gracilis, have been described by Tanaka (1956 c, p.398) as M. typica var. asymmetrica. Though it seems advisable, at least for the present, to separate specifically specimens with an assymmetrically developed genital somite from those with a symmetrical urosome, this position could be seriously criticized.
