Espèce Stephos antarcticus - Planche 1 de figures morphologiques

Issued from : R.N. Wolfenden in Natn. Antarct. Exped. 1901-1904, Nat. Hist., Zoology. 1908, 4. [Pl. V, 4-6]. As Stephus antarcticum.
Female: 4, habitus (lateral); 5, same (dorsal); 6, P5.

Nota : Cephalothorax about 3 times as long as abdomen, and in its broadest part distal of the middle line 1/3 as broad as long.Head evenly rounded, a little produced in front, without trace of rostrum.
Head and 1st thoracic segment with a weak line indicating its division.
Last two thoracic segments imperfectly divided, and last segment a little unsymmetrical ; on the right side a little longer than on the left, produced into a round-ended margin, on the left side more acutely pointed, which is most marked in lateral view.
Abdomen 4-segmented.
Genital segment laterally swollen in the upper part (genital protuberances) and again slightly swollen laterally in its lower part, with on each side a bunch of rather long spines, none dorsally.
Caudal rami as long as the anal segment, and broad as long ; caudal rami with 4 setae on each side, outer margins haired and with, on each side, a short lateral spine instead of the usual bristle, and on the ventral side a very short accessory bristle ; of the bristles, the two middle ones are much the longest and thickest, and those of the right side more sot han those of the left.
A1 24-segmented (8th and 9th segments fused), reaching to about the end of the 2nd abdominal segment.
A2 exopod longer than the endopod.
Md with rami of same length ; masticatory plate with strong teeth.
Mx1 : basis with 5, exopodal segment with 10, 1st endopodal segment with 4, 2nd endopodal segment with 3, 3nd endopodal segment with 6 bristles, inner lobe 2 and 3 present, an douter lobe 1 with 8 bristles
Mxp with 1st and 2nd basal and endopod in proportion of 24 : 11 : 20.
P1 : endopod 1-segmented, exopod 3-segmented, without outer seta on the 1st exopodal segment.
P2 with endopod 2-segmented and exopod 3-segmented.
P3 and P4 have both rami 3-segmented.
P5 right side a little longer than the left ; each 3-segmented, of which coxo and basis equal in size, but the last segment on the right le gis a little longer than the left one.. Each has terminally 3 spiny processes, the innermost comparatively thick, curved , and hook-like, and with hairs only on the outer margin ; the 2 outer spines are neither much more than half the length of the inner one, and only half as thick.

Issued from : R.N. Wolfenden in Natn. Antarct. Exped. 1901-1904, Nat. Hist., Zoology. 1908, 4. [Pl. V, 7-8]. As Stephus antarcticum.
Male: 7-8, P5.

Nota ; The asymmetry of the last thoracic segment is only slight, and on neither side is it so prolonged as in the female.
Abdomen 5-segmented ; the 1st segment is more laterally swollen than in the female, an is broader than long ; the 2nd and 3rd segments about equal in length, and much longer than the anal, which is very short.
A1 24-segmented, reaching to about the end of the 2nd abdominal segment.
Oral appendages and legs (except P5) are the same as in the female.
P5 : right leg 4-segmented, left leg 5-segmented.
In the right leg the 1st segment is short and rather broad, the 2nd elongated, rather longer and thicker than the 3rd, which is a long thin segment with club-shaped distal extremity, and having attached to the segment it makes with the last appendage a broad, rather triangular plate covered with fine hairs and a few rather strong spines ; the last segment is represented by a cvomparatively strong and large curved appendage, armed along its inner margin with short stiff bristles, these two terminal appendages resembling an awkward-looking pair of shears.
In the left leg, the 1st and 2nd segments comparatively shorter but broader than the 3rd and 4th ; the 5th segment short and broad at the distalend, with externally a short curved tooth-like ending of the distal margin, anda t the inner end an upright knob-shaped aoppendage, strongly armed all over, and especially at the base of the stalk, with short stiff bristles.
