Carte 2 Issued from : J.M. Bradford-Grieve, L. Blanco-Bercial & G.A. Boxshall in Zootaxa, 2017, 4229 (1). [p.84, Fig.46]. Distribution of Bathycalanus species; Bathycalanus richardi (filled squareç; Bathycalanus bradyi (filled triangle); Bathycalanus milleri (open triangle); Bathycalanus dentatus (open square); Bathycalanus tumidus (open circle); Bathycalanus adornatus (open diamond); Bathycalanus pustulosus (filled star); Bathycalanus unicornis ( (filled diamond); Bathycalanus bucklinae (filled circle); Bathycalanus eximius (cross).
Abyssopelagic species 2000-3000 m. For Bradford -Grieve & al; (2017, p.108) the species is very like Bathycalanus richardi except the genital double-somite is of a bulbous shape in dorsal view, widest at midlength and wider than long; Mx1 praecoxal arthrite has 4 posterior surface setae, unnlike any other species of Bathycalanus. After the authors cited, the genetic distance data suggest that this species may represent an as yet unrecognised genus.
