- P1 outer spines on exopods segments 1 and 2 extending only slightly beyond base of following, more distal spine and exopodal segment 2 has macula cribrosa located at distal 1/3 from base of distolateral spine on lateral border.
- P1 outer spines on exopodal segments 1 and 2 extending only slightly beyond base of following, more distal spine and exopodal segment 2 has macula cribrosa located at distal 1/3 from base of distolateral spine on lateral border.

Espèce Megacalanus ohmani - Planche 5 de figures morphologiquesIssued from : J.M. Bradford-Grieve, L. Blanco-Bercial & G.A. Boxshall in Zootaxa, 2017, 4229 (1). [p.48, Fig.21].
Male (from 05.350°N, 133.583°W): A, habitus (dorsal); B, forehead (lateral); C, posterior corner of pedigerous somite 5 and urosomites 1 and 2 (lateral); D, caudal ramus (dorsal); E, P5 (L = left leg, R = right leg; posterior view); F, distal inner corner of left exopod segment 2 of P5 ; G, same (another specimen).

- The specialised seta on left P5 exopodal segment 2 is similar to that of M. princeps, M. frosti bur differs from the Pacific species M. ericae which has a much stumpier specialised seta with a lash that is shorter that the basal part

For Bradford-Grieve & al; (2017, p.43) this species is similar to M. ericae Females and males of these two species may be distinguished by the shape of the posterior borders of pediger 5, and other characters bearing on the structure of A1.
