Espèce Kirnesius groenlandicus - Planche 2 de figures morphologiquesissued from : E.L. Markhaseva & T.N. Semenova in Mitt. hamb. zool. Mus. Inst., 2005, 102. [p.39, Fig.2].
Male: left A1, segments 1-6 (ancestral segments I-VIII). Segment 2 is a complex of ancestral segments II-IV.
Scale bar: 0.1 mm.

Nota : A1 nearly as long as body with 2 brush-like aesthetascs in proximal part on 2nd and 5th segments ; right A1 23-segmented ; left A1 22-segmented..

Rem : Antennulary aesthetascs with brush-like tips are rare in the subclass Copepoda. Several examples of such aesthetascs are known in the poecilostomatoid males Pachos punctatum (Claus, 1863) and P. tuberosum (Giesbrecht, 1891) ; antennulary aesthetascs similar to brush on its tip are also observed in some fresh-water Cyclopoida males. Since Giesbrecht (1892) the trithek/quadrithek pattern of antennulary armament is considered typical of copepod females and males. The trithek pattern is 2 setae plus 1 aesthetasc ; quadrithek are 2 setae plus 2 aesthetascs. It was suggested that the doubled aesthetascs of the quadrithek are an adaptation of calanoid males to search for females in the pelagic environment (Ferrari & Benforado, 1998).
Kirnesius groenlandicus demonstrates a setation typical of the copepod quadrithek pattern : articulated segment 2 is a complex of fused ancestral segments II-IV and bears 6 setae plus 4 aesthetascs (found also in other males of families possessing sensory setae on Mx2). In this species, however, 1 of 4 aesthetascs is brush-like, with a well defined head supplied with long filaments ; another aesthetasc with brush-like tipi s sutuated on articulated segment 5 (ancestral segment VII) which has a typical quadrithek pattern (2 setae plus 2 aesthetascs.
While sensory setae on Mx2 and Maxillipedal syncoxa of calanoids are assumed to have originated from sclerotized setae (playing the role of chemoreceptors and may be directly used for capture and manipulation of food particules; those which are worm-like are condidered to have the function of \"more general detection\", while brush-like aesthetascs are \"more specific \" in detection of chemicals, see Nishida & Ohtsuka, 1997, the origin of antennulary aesthetascs is not so clearly understood (see Boxshall & Huys, 1998), we often cannot distinguish between aesthetascs that have originated from setae and those of other origin.
