Carapace rigid; rostrum long, exceeding carapace in length, denticulate; dorsal keel continuous, extends anteriorly onto rostrum and posteriorly onto posterodorsal spine; upper lateral keels continuous, extending onto posterodorsal spine; lower lateral keels continuous, curve upwards parallel to posterior margin and merge with upper lateral keels at base of posterodorsal spine; antennal and branchiostegal spines well developed. Antennal scale about twice as long as broad, terminal lobe does not extend past outer spine. Abdominal somites equipped with small dorsal spines, ventrolateral margins produced into posterior directed spines. Telson linguiform, extending beyond uropods, apex crescent-shaped. Maximum body length in this study was 100 mm, but has been reported up to 136 mm (G.O. Sars 1885). Distribution . With a total number of 1470 captured specimens, G. z o e a was the most frequented Gnathophausia species on the Mar-Eco expedition. It was most abundant in northern stations with a steep decrease in numbers towards the southernmost stations. Specimens were captured at all depth ranges down to 3000 m, but most abundant from about 1500 m up to surface depths, showing a shallower distribution than other species of the genus. Distributed throughout the world’s oceans, G. z o e a was first captured during the Challenger expeditions (1873 – 76), where five specimens were found at four locations: 1) in the north Atlantic, west of the Azores at a depth of 1829 m; 2) in the tropical Atlantic at a depth of 3384 m; 3) off Rio San Francisco, Brazil at a depth of 1408 m; 4) in the Pacific, north of the Kermadec Islands at a depth of 1097 m. In addition, two specimens, described as G. willemoesii , were found at a depth of 2606 m south of Amboina in the Banda Sea (G.O. Sars 1885). Other early reports include three from the Discovery collection (O.S. Tattersall 1955), two of them collected in the south Atlantic, between 2000 and 1800 m (Tristan da Cunha) and between 1600 and 1050 m (Ascension Island). The third specimen was captured at a station in the Indian Ocean, east of Zanzibar, between 1900 and 1850 m. Later reports from the North Atlantic (Hargreaves 1985) revealed G. z o e a moderate concentrations below 900 m in the Rockall Trough, and at near-bottom stations in the Porcupine Seabight down to 1160 m. Remarks . In G. z o e a the rostrum and posterodorsal spine of the carapace become progressively shorter with age. As growth continues the spiniform termination of the outer margin of the antennal scale also becomes shorter. Morphological variation reflecting growth stages has led to several invalid species interpretations. Consequently, Ortmann (1906) showed that G. willemoesii (G.O. Sars 1885) and G. sarsi (Wood-Mason and Alcock 1891) were based on morphological characters defining fully grown and sub-adult stages of G. z o e a , respectively. A third species G. cristata, described by Illig (1906) was later shown to be a juvenile G. z o e a (Tattersall and Tattersall 1951). Also see remarks section of G. bergstadi for discussion on morphological similarities between G. z o e a , G. affinis , and G. bergstadi . Gnathophausia scapularis Ortmann, 1906 (Fig. 12) Gnathophausia scapularis, Ortmann 1906: 50 –51. Gnathophausia zoea var scapularis —W.M. Tattersall 1939: 226–227.—W.M. Tattersall 1951: 31. Diagnosis. Body compact, rather stout. Carapace, almost covering first abdominal somite, constricted anteriorly forming very marked shoulder on each side; rostrum much shorter than carapace, denticulate; posterodorsal spine short; dorsal keel continuous; upper lateral keels curved, create lanceolate almost plane dorsal face of carapace, widest near middle of carapace, strongly curved downward anteriorly; lower lateral keels project considerably beyond keel of lower margin of carapace, converge just above branchiostegal lobes, curve upwards at posterior end towards posterodorsal spine; supra-orbital spines strong; branchiostegal expansions rounded and greatly expanded, antennal spines small. Terminal lobe of antennal scale extends past outer non-serrated apical spine. Abdominal somites with small posterodorsal spines; ventral pleural spines present. Telson linguiform, distal two-thirds of lateral margins armed with spiniform setae; apex with two pairs of large spiniform setae, posterior margin fringed with a serrated edge. Obtains length up to 75 mm (Ortman 1906). Distribution. G. scapularis seems to be widely distributed. It is reported from the Clarion Islands south of Baja California at a depth of 840 meters (Ortman, 1906) and the Indian Ocean down to 1500–2000 m depths. Remarks. G. scapularis seems to be closely related to G. z o e a , but is distinguished from this species by the unique shape of the carapace that has prominent bulges immediately behind the branchiostegal lobes. In effect the carapace takes on a peculiar form with a conspicuous anterior constriction. The close resemblance with G. z o e a led W.M Tattersall (1939) to suggest a variant status of G. scapularis . Based on a general reluctance towards erecting species variants on valid species we choose to treat G. scapularis as a true species sensu Ortman (1906). Identification key to species in Gnathophausia Willemoes-Suhm, 1873 1. External margin of antennal scale serrated, with 3–9 spines (Fig. 1 C).

Carapace rigid; rostrum long, exceeding carapace in length, denticulate; dorsal keel continuous, extends anteriorly onto rostrum and posteriorly onto posterodorsal spine; upper lateral keels continuous, extending onto posterodorsal spine; lower lateral keels continuous, curve upwards parallel to posterior margin and merge with upper lateral keels at base of posterodorsal spine; antennal and branchiostegal spines well developed. Antennal scale about twice as long as broad, terminal lobe does not extend past outer spine. Abdominal somites equipped with small dorsal spines, ventrolateral margins produced into posterior directed spines. Telson linguiform, extending beyond uropods, apex crescent-shaped. Maximum body length in this study was 100 mm, but has been reported up to 136 mm (G.O. Sars 1885). Distribution . With a total number of 1470 captured specimens, G. z o e a was the most frequented Gnathophausia species on the Mar-Eco expedition. It was most abundant in northern stations with a steep decrease in numbers towards the southernmost stations. Specimens were captured at all depth ranges down to 3000 m, but most abundant from about 1500 m up to surface depths, showing a shallower distribution than other species of the genus. Distributed throughout the world’s oceans, G. z o e a was first captured during the Challenger expeditions (1873 – 76), where five specimens were found at four locations: 1) in the north Atlantic, west of the Azores at a depth of 1829 m; 2) in the tropical Atlantic at a depth of 3384 m; 3) off Rio San Francisco, Brazil at a depth of 1408 m; 4) in the Pacific, north of the Kermadec Islands at a depth of 1097 m. In addition, two specimens, described as G. willemoesii , were found at a depth of 2606 m south of Amboina in the Banda Sea (G.O. Sars 1885). Other early reports include three from the Discovery collection (O.S. Tattersall 1955), two of them collected in the south Atlantic, between 2000 and 1800 m (Tristan da Cunha) and between 1600 and 1050 m (Ascension Island). The third specimen was captured at a station in the Indian Ocean, east of Zanzibar, between 1900 and 1850 m. Later reports from the North Atlantic (Hargreaves 1985) revealed G. z o e a moderate concentrations below 900 m in the Rockall Trough, and at near-bottom stations in the Porcupine Seabight down to 1160 m. Remarks . In G. z o e a the rostrum and posterodorsal spine of the carapace become progressively shorter with age. As growth continues the spiniform termination of the outer margin of the antennal scale also becomes shorter. Morphological variation reflecting growth stages has led to several invalid species interpretations. Consequently, Ortmann (1906) showed that G. willemoesii (G.O. Sars 1885) and G. sarsi (Wood-Mason and Alcock 1891) were based on morphological characters defining fully grown and sub-adult stages of G. z o e a , respectively. A third species G. cristata, described by Illig (1906) was later shown to be a juvenile G. z o e a (Tattersall and Tattersall 1951). Also see remarks section of G. bergstadi for discussion on morphological similarities between G. z o e a , G. affinis , and G. bergstadi . Gnathophausia scapularis Ortmann, 1906 (Fig. 12) Gnathophausia scapularis, Ortmann 1906: 50 –51. Gnathophausia zoea var scapularis —W.M. Tattersall 1939: 226–227.—W.M. Tattersall 1951: 31. Diagnosis. Body compact, rather stout. Carapace, almost covering first abdominal somite, constricted anteriorly forming very marked shoulder on each side; rostrum much shorter than carapace, denticulate; posterodorsal spine short; dorsal keel continuous; upper lateral keels curved, create lanceolate almost plane dorsal face of carapace, widest near middle of carapace, strongly curved downward anteriorly; lower lateral keels project considerably beyond keel of lower margin of carapace, converge just above branchiostegal lobes, curve upwards at posterior end towards posterodorsal spine; supra-orbital spines strong; branchiostegal expansions rounded and greatly expanded, antennal spines small. Terminal lobe of antennal scale extends past outer non-serrated apical spine. Abdominal somites with small posterodorsal spines; ventral pleural spines present. Telson linguiform, distal two-thirds of lateral margins armed with spiniform setae; apex with two pairs of large spiniform setae, posterior margin fringed with a serrated edge. Obtains length up to 75 mm (Ortman 1906). Distribution. G. scapularis seems to be widely distributed. It is reported from the Clarion Islands south of Baja California at a depth of 840 meters (Ortman, 1906) and the Indian Ocean down to 1500–2000 m depths. Remarks. G. scapularis seems to be closely related to G. z o e a , but is distinguished from this species by the unique shape of the carapace that has prominent bulges immediately behind the branchiostegal lobes. In effect the carapace takes on a peculiar form with a conspicuous anterior constriction. The close resemblance with G. z o e a led W.M Tattersall (1939) to suggest a variant status of G. scapularis . Based on a general reluctance towards erecting species variants on valid species we choose to treat G. scapularis as a true species sensu Ortman (1906).
