Planche 1 issued from : T. Park in Bull. Scripps Inst. Oceanogr. Univ. California, San Diego, 1995, 29. [p.135, Fig.25]. Female: a, forehead (left side); b, urosome (left); c, genital somite (left); d, outer lobe of Mx1; e exopod of P1 (anterior); f, exopod of P2 (anterior). Nota: Similar in habitus to P. parvula but distinguishable from it by rostrum, whivh in lateral view is almost triangular with a large base. Laterally, genital somite with strongly bulging dorsal margin; ventral margin of genital flange nearly straight or only slightly emarginate and sloping posteroventrad. Posterior edge of genital field produced into a lox angular ridge with a wide base. Posterior margin of genital prominence slightly bulging and sloping about 30° with respect to long body axis. Cephalosomal appendages similat to those of P. barbata and P. parvula except that outer lobe of Mx1 with 7 long setae, of which the proximalmost is shorter than the others, and a minute seta proximally.
Male: g, forehead (left); h, distal exopodal segments of left 5th leg (lateral, tilted clockwise).
Planche 2 issued from : T. Park in Antarctic Res. Ser. Oceanogr. Washington, 1978, 27.[p.281, Fig.118]. As Euchaeta eltaninae. Female: A, forehead (lateral); B, C, D, distal end of metasome segment (right side, left side, and ventral, respectively); E, posterior part of metasome and urosome (right side, lateral); F, outer lobe of Mx1; G, P1; H, P2. P1-2: legs (anterior).
Nota: Proportional lengths of prosome and urosome about 68: 32. Rostrum large, pointing obliquely fordward at angle of about 60° with respect to body. Frontal eminence of forehead low, bearing suprafrontal sensilla. A1 reaching distal end of metasome.
Nota from Bradford & al. (1983, p.37): P1 exopod female: Aa minute: Bb = BC; Cc > BC. P2 exopod female : Aa > AB; Bb = 1/3 BC; Cc = 2/3 CD; Dd = 1/3 CD. (see code of lengths outer spines in the Genus' figure, or in Paraeuchaeta sp. A).
Planche 3 issued from : T. Park in Antarctic Res. Ser. Oceanogr. Washington, 1978, 27.[p.282, Fig.119]. As Euchaeta eltaninae. Male: A, forehead (lateral); B, C, last metasomal and genital segments (left side and right side, respectively); D, P1; E, P2; F, P5; G, H, I, distal part of exopod of left P5 (medial, anterior, and lateral, respectively). P1-5: legs (anterior).
Nota from Bradford & al; (1983, p.38): P1 exopod male: Aa minute; Bb = 2/5 BC; Cc = 4/5 BC. P2 exopod male: Aa = 1/6 AB; Bb = 1/3 BC; Cc = 1/4 CD; Dd = 1/4 CD. (see code of lengths outer spines in the Genus' figure, or in Paraeuchaeta sp. A).
Planche 4Paraeuchaeta eltaninae Female: 1 - See key to species Groups and independent species of Paraeuchaeta (p.30): malayensis species Group. 2 - Outer spine of 2nd exopodal segment (or the 2nd of the first 2 exopodal segments forming a proximal, compound segment) of P1 normally developed (Fig.25-e). 3 - Outer lobe of Mx1 with 7 long setae in addition to 1 or 2 minute setae proximally (Fig.25-d). 4 - Genital somite without a conical process on left side close to anterior base of genital prominence (Fig.25-c). 5 - Dorsally and ventrally, genital somite symmetrical. 6 - Laterally, genital flange with normal posterior lobe (Fig.25-c). 7 - Laterally, genital somite with more or less smooth dorsal margin (Fig.25-c). 8 - Laterally, genital prominence with nearly straight or only slightly bulging posterior margin (Fig.25-c). 9 - Outer lobe of Mx1 with 7 long setae plus 1 or 2 very minute setae (Fig.25-d). 10 - Laterally, genital prominence with posterior margin equal to or longer than posterior ventral wall of somite (Fig.25-c). 11 - Laterally, posterior margin of genital prominence and posterior ventral wall of somite forming an angle of more than 140° (Fig.25-c). 12 - Laterally, genital genital prominence with posterior margin distinctly longer than posterior ventral wall of somite (Fig.25-c).
