Description
Summary:Asterocheres abyssi (Hansen, 1923) Ascomyzon abyssi Hansen 1923: 8. Asterocheres abyssi: Stock 1966a: 209; Johnsson 1998: 96; Kim 2004: 181. Material examined. Holotype ɗ (ZMUC. CRU-5026) collected during the “Danish Ingolf expedition” in Davis Strait, Station 36 (61º50΄N, 56º21΄W), at 1,435 fathoms (ca. 2.62 km). Hosts. Unknown. Distribution. Atlantic Ocean (Hansen 1923). Remarks. This species was described by Hansen (1923) based on a damaged male and has not been subsequently recorded. Re-examination of the material deposited in the ZMUC did not yield any useful taxonomic information due to the poor condition of the type specimen. Therefore, the only morphological information regarding this species is that provided by Hansen (1923), who described A. abyssi as possessing: 1) a 5-segmented urosome, with the anal somite nearly as long as wide and slightly longer than the two preceding somites combined; 2) a genital somite as long as broad; 3) caudal rami shorter than anal somite; 4) a presumably 17-segmented ... : Published as part of Bandera, Eugenia & Conradi, Mercedes, 2009, Redescription of Asterocheres suberitis Giesbrecht, 1897 and A. tenerus (Hansen, 1923) (Copepoda: Siphonostomatoida), including notes on A. abyssi (Hansen, 1923) and A. intermedius (Hansen, 1923), pp. 41-52 in Zootaxa 1980 on page 42, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.185273 ...
