Figures

Planche 1 issued from : F.D. Ferrari & T.E. Bowman in Smiths. Contr. Zool., 1980, 312. [p.5, Fig.1]. As Oithona oculata.
Female (from Caribbean area): a, P4; b, urosome (lateral left side); c, urosomal segment 1 and2 with spermatophore (lateral left side).
Nota: Exopodal segment 2 of P4 with both setae modified, slightly curved toward their tips (proximal seta with serrate flange on distal 1/3 of medial edge, distal seta with serrate flange on distal 1/4); endopodal segment 3 proximal seta similarly modified with serrate flange on distal 1/6. Genital segment with knob near genital opening armed with anterodorsally curved spine, bearing tiny distinct teeth on posterior margin, below this spine a small point. Spermatophores attached ventrally on the genital segment, a small tubule passes dorsally from spermatophore (genital opening not identified, it may be located near the termination of the spermatophore tubule but it appears that the tubule empties into a sulcus or groove formed by two ridges of the integument; the ridges, depicted by heavy lines, extend dorsally on each side of the armed knob).

Male: cephalothorax in lateral view produced into a small triangular extension near posterior ventral edge. Integumental organs scattered over the lateral surface (organs: see figure below).

Rostrum absent; cephalon slightly produced into a rostral prominence; the cephalic ganglia form a large bilobed mass, in front of which are situated, in the rostral prominence, a pair of small clear refractive areas. A1 reaches to the 2nd thoracic segment; proportional lengths of segments 11:6:16:11:12:12:16:7:13:4:9:6; 3rd segment with an imperfect separation near its proximal end, 4th segment with a small spine distally on its upper margin.

For Farran, this species is closely allied to O (= Dioithona) rigida, differing mainly from it in the greater length of the terminal spines of the swimming legs: in rigida, as figured by Giesbrecht1897) and Cleve (1901), these spines are shorter than the terminal segments of the exopodites; another difference is the comparatively large size of the inner edge setae on the 1st segments of the exopodites in rigida, in oculata they are very small.

Remarques

épipélagique.
Cette espèce d'origine Indo-pacifique serait passée dans l'Atlantique par le Courant des Agulhas.
Observé dans les ballasts des navires à San Francisco.
cette espèce a été observé pour la première fois en Méditerranée (Bassin levantin, Iskenderum Bay, Turquie) en 2013 et déjà abondante en 2016, probablement en provenance du transit à travers le Canal de Suez.
