Espèce Corycaeus (Ditrichocorycaeus) minimus - Planche 1 de figures morphologiquesissued from : G.P. Farran in Great Barrier Reef Expedition 1928-29. Scientific Reports, V, No.3. Copepoda. 1936 [p.136, Fig.29].
Female: a, habitus (dorsal); b, idem (lateral left side).

Nota: These specimens come very near to Dahl's description of C. minimus indicus/; they differ in the slightly longer furca, twice as long as the anal segment and 7.5 to 8 times as long as wide. As compared with Dahl's figure, the genital segment is broader and more globular in dorsal view. Klevenhusen (1933) has described, from the Atlantic, a form with a ventral hook on the genital segment, in our specimens there is a minute rudimentary hook.
