Planche 1 Issued from : J.M. Bradford-Grieve, L. Blanco-Bercial & G.A. Boxshall in Zootaxa, 2017, 4229 (1). [p.119, Fig.77].
Female (from 25.082°S, 09.584°E); A-B, habitus (dorsal and lateral, respectively); C, forehead (lateral); D, right lappet of pedigerous somite 5; E, left lappet of pedigerous somite 5; F, P1(anterior view).
Scale bars: 1.0 mm on all figures.

Nota:
- Forehead in dorsal view produced into rounded protrusion dorsal to base of rostrum and extending into pair of small divergent spine-like processes.
- Posterior border of pediger 5, in dorsal view, extending into transparent, asymmetrical lappets, slightly longest on right.
- Genital double-somite symmetrical in dorsal view, widest at about anterior 1/3, 1.21 times longer than wide, seminal receptacles not observed.
- A1 extending beyond caudal rami by about 4 segments.
- P1 exopod with articulation between exopodal segments 2 and 3 well-developed, distolateral corner of endopodal segment 1 bilobed.

Scale bars: 1.0 mm (A-E); 0.1 mm (F).

Nota: Anterior and posterior borders of ancestral segments XVI-XXI smooth. Hair sensillum on ancestral segment II not accompanied by macula cribrosa.

Remarques

Bathy-abyssopelagic (2062-2990 m).
For Bradford-Grieve & al. (2017, p.122) is related to Ba. richardi in that it has a pair of small anterior spine-like processes on the head. This species can be distinguished from any other Bathycalanus species by: 1- pedigerous somite 5 with long asymmetrical posterolateral lappets; 2- body somites smooth and without pustules; 3- a genital double-somite with a widest part, in dorsal view, at 1/3 the distance from the anterior border; 4- female A1 ancestral segment II hair sensillum not accompanied by macula cribrosa; 5- 4 setae on the 2nd basal endite of Mx1.
