Planche 7 issued from : J. Chae & S. Nishida in Mar. Biol., 1994 (119). [p.209, Fig.4).
Schematic representation of the structure of the dorsal integument male in Sapphirinidae. Membrane structures supporting the platelets not shown.
bl = basal lamina; cm = cell membrane; d, platelet diameter; e, epicuticule; m = mitochondrion; mls = multilayer structure; n, nucleus; p, procuticle; t = platelet thicness

Nota: Multilayered, hexagonal platelets exist in the dorsal epidermal cells of the male sapphirinids. The absence of platelets in the female is consistent with the fact that iridescence is observed only in the male and confirms that this structure is responsible for generating the iridescence. Iridescent, integumental structures with multilayered crystals have been well known in various animal taxa, such fishes, amphibians and reptiles, but we know of no other litterature referring to any such structures in the integument of Crustacea, although multilayer structures have been found in the nauplius eyse of copepods (Land, 1984, etc.) including Sapphirina sp. itself (Elofsson, 1969). The causal mechanism of structural colors in animals is explained by the theory of multiple thin-layer interfernce (for explanation p.209-210 in Chae & Nishida, 1994). The fact that only males iridesce, the specific differences in iridescent colors, and the well-developed eyes all suggests that iridescence of sapphirinids has a important role in mate finding, prsumably by the female (Heron, 1973).
