Espèce Paraeuchaeta pseudotonsa - Planche 1 de figures morphologiquesissued from : T. Park in Bull. Scripps Inst. Oceanogr. Univ. California, San Diego, 1995, 29. [p.181, Fig.71].
Female: a, forehead (left side); b, urosome (left); c, genital somite (left); d, idem (dorsal).
Nota : Very similar in habitus including forehead and urosome to P. tonsa but distinguishable from it;
Laterally, distal end of prosome reaching anterior end of genital prominence.
Dorsal margin of genital somite (fig. c) straight ; genital prominence nearly triangular with blunt distal end ; its anterior margin somewhat convex ; its posterior margin only slightly bulging ; dorsally, genital somite (fig. d) with smoothly curved swelling, widest about 2/3 its length from proximal end.
Cephalosomal appendages and swimming legs as in P. tonsa.

Male: e, forehead (left); f, exopod of P2 (anterior); g, exopod of left 5th leg (medil); h, distal exopodal segments of left 5th leg (lateral, tilted clockwise); i, idem (medial); j, serrated lamella of left 5th leg exopod from different specimen (lateral, tilted clockwise).
Nota: The male is not easily distinguishable from that of P. tonsa. The most reliable diagnostic feature is the shape of the toothlike process next to the serrated lamella on the outer distal margin of the 2nd exopodal segment of the left P5, which is relatively short and spiniform, while it is fingerlike and relatively long in P. tonsa.


Espèce Paraeuchaeta pseudotonsa - Planche 2 de figures morphologiquesissued from : T. Park in Antarctic Res. Ser. Washington, 1978, 27. [p.233, Fig.85]. As Euchaeta pseudotonsa.
Female: A, forehead (lateral); B, posterior part of metasome and urosome (dorsal); C, D, E, distal end of metasome and genital segment (ventral, dorsal, and left side, respectively); F, outer lobe of Mx1; G, P1; H, P2. P1-2: legs (anterior view).


Espèce Paraeuchaeta pseudotonsa - Planche 3 de figures morphologiquesissued from : T. Park in Antarctic Res. Ser. Washington, 1978, 27. [p.232, Fig.84] : Euchaeta tonsa.
Female: A, B, C, distal end of metasome and genital segment (dorsal, lateral, ventral, respectively).

Nota: P. tonsa and P. pseudotonsa are so similar that they had been confused until Fontaine (1967). See significant differences in the female genital segment: In dorsal view the widest part of the genital segment is nearer the middle of the segment in P. pseudotonsa than in P. tonsa. In lateral view, althrough it is variable to a certain extent, the anterior surface of the genital proeminence is slightly convex rather than flat. In ventral view the posterior ridge of the genital field is narrower in P. pseudotonsa than in P. tonsa than in P. tonsa


Espèce Paraeuchaeta pseudotonsa - Planche 4 de figures morphologiquesissued from : T. Park in Antarctic Res. Ser. Washington, 1978, 27. [p.234, Fig.86]. As Euchaeta pseudotonsa.
Male: A, forehead (lateral); B, last metasomal and genital segments (left side); C, P1; D, P2; E, P5; F, G, H, I, distal part of exopod of left P5, (anterior, medial, and anterior from different specimens, respectively).


Espèce Paraeuchaeta pseudotonsa - Planche 5 de figures morphologiquesissued from : J.M. Bradford, L. Haakonssen & J.B. Jillett in Mem. N.Z. Oceanogr. Inst., 1983, 90. [p.48, Fig.25].
Female: A, habitus (lateral left side); B, genital segment (dorsal); C, idem (lateral left side); D, exopod of P1; E, exopod segment 3 of P2.
- P1 exopod female: Aa ≤ BC; Bb ≤ BC; Cc > BC.
- P2 exopod female: Aa > AB; Bb = 1/3 BC; Cc = CD + 1/2 Dd; Dd = 1/4 CD. (see code of lengths outer spines in the Genus' figure, or in Paraeuchaeta sp. A).

Male: F, habitus (lateral right side); G, P5; H, medial view of terminal part of left P5 exopod; I, anterior view of terminal part of left P5 exopod. Nota: - P1 exopod male: Aa minute; Bb = 1/3 BC; Cc = 1/2 BC.
- P2 exopod male: Aa = 1/2 AB; Bb = 1/2 BC; Cc = 1/3 CD; Dd = 1/4 CD. (see code of lengths outer spines in the Genus' figure, or in Paraeuchaeta sp. A).
The males from the south-west Pacific differ from Fontaine's description in that on left P5 the serrated lamella is not very much longer than the digitiform process and exopod segment 3 extends beyond the serrated lamella by between a third and a half its length. All specimens have a row of teeth along one edge of the serrated lamella only (Park, 1978, did find that this species could have two rows of teeth like P. scaphula). It appears that the male of P. tuberculata A. Scott, 1909 could equally well be attribued to pseudotonsa (Fontaine, 1967, considers it to be a synonym of scaphula). The male of pseudotonsa can, according to Fontaine (1967), be distinguished from the male of P. scaphula (See: tuberculata) by the serrated lamella, which is longer than the digitiform process in the former, while of the same length in the latter.

Dorsally, genital segment not so obviously swollen as in P. tonsa and with its widest part nearer the middle of segment.

The mean female size is 6.441 mm (n = 15; SD = 0.5681), and the mean male size is 6.057 mm (n = 12; SD = 0.4576). The size ratio (male : female) is 0.936 (n = 5; SD = 0.01110), or ± 94 %. In samples, the sex ratio is likely 1.
Rem.: méso-bathypélagique.
Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.) : 0-2000-4000 m.
La discrimination entre cette espèce et P. tonsa, P. scaphula est très difficile, d'où les difficultés d'établir avec certitude leur répartition géographique.
Cette espèce apparaît comme essentiellement atlantique et sub-antarctique et la seconde de l’indo-pacifique. Cependant Vives (1982, p.291) signale P. tonsa dans la région des Canaries.
