Description
Summary:Key to genera of known nymphal Ameronothridae 1. Gastronotic surface with sclerites and folds. 2 - Gastronotic surface only with folds. 4 2. Eighteen or more gastronotic sclerites present; all gastronotic setae short or only setae h 1 – h 3 longer than others. 3 - Fewer than 16 gastronotic sclerites present; often gastronotic seta h 2 longer than h 1 and h 3 (exceptions: many gastronotic setae long or all setae short). Halozetes -species group 1 ( H. capensis Coetzee & Marshall; H. intermedius Wallwork; H. littoralis Wallwork; H. macquariensis (Dalenius); H. marinus marinus (Lohmann); H. marinus devilliersi Engelbrecht; H. marinus minor Wallwork; H. plumosus Wallwork; H. necrophagus Wallwork) 3. Interlamellar seta approximately three times longer than rostral seta; interlamellar seta clearly longer than their mutual distance. Alaskozetes ( A. antarcticus antarcticus (Michael), A. antarcticus intermedius Wallwork) - Interlamellar seta approximately twice the length of rostral seta; interlamellar seta as long as their mutual distance or shorter.
