Rem.: For Markhaseva & Ferrari (2005, p .141) this species can be distinguished from B. volcani by the size ; 3 setae on basis of Md (2 setae in B. volcani) ; distal to anterior knob of Vaupel Klein’s organ of P1 bears denticles (without denticles on B. volcani) ; and distinguished from B. laurenae by the symmetrical genital complex (slightly asymmetrical in B. laurenae ; 8-segmented exopod of A2 (7-segmented for B. laurenae) and elongate segment with 3 setae (4 setae for B. laurenae.
According to Schulz (2006, p.67) Xanthocalanus laptevorum should be incorporated within Byrathis particularly on account of characters of A2, Md, Mxp, P1 and P5.
