| Summary: | Korotkevitschia pelagica (Korotkevitsch, 1961) (Figs 1–20) Cratenemertes pelagicus Korotkevitsch, 1961 Type specimen: Holotype: Zoological Institute of Russian Academy of Science, St.Petersburg, Russia, no 278, 28 slides with 778 oblique and transverse sections of complete immature male. Type location: Indian Ocean, 61°33' S, 20°00' E, from a depth of 0–200 m collected February 25,1957 by K.V. Beklemishev and V.S. Korotkevitsch. Description Epidermis and dermis: The epidermis is 60–85 m thick in intestinal region and 80–100 m in cerebral region. It contains numerous weakly staining glands. The epidermal cells have a basalcup zone. The dermis in the intestinal region is 26–38 m thick but it reaches up to 46 m in the cerebral region. The basal part of the dermis is deeply stained. Body wall musculature: The outer circular muscle layer is mostly 20–27 m thick. The inner longitudinal musculature varies from 37 m to 110 m thick. It is divided into wedges with typical "honeycomb" structure (Crandall & ... : Published as part of Chernyshev, Alexei V., 2005, Redescription of Korotkevitschia pelagica (Korotkevitsch, 1961) (Enopla: Hoplonemertea: Cratenemertea), a pelagic nemertean from Antarctica, pp. 1-14 in Zootaxa 862 on pages 2-12, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.170850 ... |
