Nota: Proportional lengths of the prosome and urosome as 80 : 20.
- The proportional lengths of the urosome as : 37 : 19 : 17 : 11 :1 6 = 100.
- The genital and the two following segments are each prrovided with a row of spines (this row is composed of stout triangular spines across the dorsal aspect, but on the sides and below the size of the spines is much reduced.
- A1 24-segmented, segments 8 and 9 fused (in Wolfenden, 1905, p.7, there are 23 segments because segments 24 and 25 fused).
- In Mxp the lamella on the 1st basal segment is rounded at its distal end and is not produced in a hook-like process.
- In the swimming legs there are tufts of fine hairs on the anterior aspect of the distal segment of the endopod.
- Secretory glands are present on all three segments of the exopod of P2 to P4, and these open by pores situated close to the base of the marginal spine at the distal external angle.

Espèce Gaetanus antarcticus - Carte de distribution 4

Carte 4 issued from : W. Vervoort in B.A.N.Z. Antarctic Reseach Expedition, Reports - Ser. B, Vol. III, 1957 [Fig.41]
Chart showing the geographical distribution (white circle) in the seas surrounding the Antarctic continent.
Nota: In this chart the area frequented by whaling vessels has been hatched. The Antarctic circle (66°.5 S) has been drawn as a broken line. The numbers I to VI refer to the sectors into which the Antarctic seas are divided according to Mackintosh (1942) (after Vervoort, 1951).

Remarques

méso & bathypélagique.
Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.) : 600-1000+ m.
Les fortes différences de taille observées par Wolfenden (1911) correspondent aux localisations antarctique (10’) et atlantique S (10).
Cette espèce serait transportée de l'antarctique vers le nord par les courants intermédiaires ou profonds.
