Sexual dimorphism consists of a slightly smaller body size (allotype: 410 µm, paratype 4: 417 µm, paratype 5: 459 µm), smaller dorsal cuticular processes DP1–DP3, the A1, the P3 endopod, the P5, and the absence of a P6. A1 (Fig. 14A). 7-segmented, subchirocer. First segment with long spinules on surface and anterior margin, and with 1 seta apically (broken in Fig. 14A); second segment as long as first, with 8 bare setae (two of which broken in Fig. 14A); third segment small, almost triangular, with 4 bare setae; fifth segment minute, with 2 small bare setae; sixth segment swollen, setation not discernible because of position on the slide and the risk of breaking the A1 if it is turned (its description is therefore postponed until additional material is found) sixth segment small and squarish, without ornamentation; seventh segment twice as long as sixth, tapering posteriorly, with 9 bare setae, 2 of which form an apical acrothek together with 1 aes. P3 ENDOPOD (Fig. 14B). 3-segmented, first segment small and unarmed, second segment about three times as long as first, ending in acute apophysis; third segment slightly shorter and narrower than first, not reaching end of apophysis, with 2 long biplumose setae apically. P5 (Fig. 13B). Exopod separated from baseoendopod, with several long spinules and 2 outer and 2 apical bipinnate setae; additionally, with 1 subapical bare seta but without tube pore; baseoendopod as in female but endopodal lobe smaller, likewise the single endopodal seta, which is small and bare. : Published as part of George, Kai Horst, 2021, Four new genera of the Ceratonotus group (Copepoda, Harpacticoida), including the description of two new species, pp. 1-41 in European Journal of Taxonomy 774 on pages 14-24, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2021.774.1525, http://zenodo.org/record/5552801 Text Antarc* Antarctic Antarctic Peninsula Antarctica Weddell Sea DataCite Metadata Store (German National Library of Science and Technology) Antarctic Antarctic Peninsula Weddell Sea Weddell Seta ENVELOPE(9.895,9.895,63.645,63.645) |
