Endopod 2-segmented; first segment shorter than second, with 1 inner seta; second segment with outer row of long spinules, 1 proximal seta, 1 spine and 1 seta subdistally along inner margin, and 7 apical elements, 4 of them geniculate.
litoralis (see redescription in Vandel, 1960) in having the cephalon with frontal shield grooved, larger eyes (4 ommatidia instead of 1-2), dorsal tubercles more prominent and male pleopod 1
endopod with distal part thicker and straight; from B.
Endopod bilobed, with 4 (2 subterminal + 2 terminal) setae.
Lateral lobule of
endopod of male first pleopod slightly produced (Fig.
1G) Endites separated by shallow notch and with multiple setae; bilobed epipod;
endopod 4-segmented with 6, 3, 3, 4 setae; exopod with 14 plumose natatory setae; terminal segment with 3 terminal spines and 1 subterminal spine.
Four pairs of biramous swimming legs composed of a precoxa, coxa, basis, exopod, and
endopod; with plumose setae on all exopods,
endopods, coxae, and bases.
2C) consisting of coxa, basis, 3-segmented
endopod, and 6-segmented exopod; coxa unarmed; basis with 2 setae distally; first
endopod segment having 1 subterminal seta, second segment with 2 minute mid-lateral and 2 terminal setae, third segment with 6 setae distally; setal formula of exopod 0, 2, 1, 1, 1, 3 (based on suture lines on posterior surface).
During this stage, further differentiation of the maxillipeds occurs, each now featuring an exopod and an
endopod. The edge of the carapace is also discernible near the base of the maxillipeds.
Uropod exopod biarticulated, longer than proximal
endopod article;
endopod terminal article longer than other articles.
