Menigrates Boeck 1871

Description

Menigrates Boeck, 1871

(Fig. 24)

Menigrates Boeck, 1871: 113.— Sars, 1891: 110.— Stebbing, 1894: 15.— Stebbing, 1906: 48.—J.L. Barnard, 1969: 349.— Lincoln, 1979: 92.— Barnard & Karaman, 1991: 438 (key), 500.

Type species. Anonyx obtusifrons Boeck, 1861, monotypy.

Included species. Menigrates includes five taxa: M. angustipes Gurjanova, 1962; M. maslovi Bryazgin, 1974; M. obtusifrons (Boeck, 1861); M. spinirami spinirami Gurjanova, 1936; M. spinirami japonica Gurjanova, 1962.

Diagnostic description. Antenna 1 peduncle article 1 without anterodistal lobe; accessory flagellum with or without cap covering callynophore. Antenna 2 without brush setae. Mandible molar with reduced column and reduced triturating surface. Maxilla 1 outer plate with 7 well-developed setal-teeth in modified 7/4 crown. Maxilla 2 inner plate slightly shorter than outer plate. Gnathopod 1 weakly subchelate ; coxa 1 large, about as long as coxa 2, subrectangular with concave or straight anterior margin; ischium short (length less than 2 × breadth); carpus short (length 1 to 2 × breadth); propodus margins tapering distally. Uropod 2 inner ramus not constricted. Telson moderately cleft, notched to emarginate.

Remarks. Based on gnathopod 1 coxa and carpus and the moderately cleft telson Menigrates is most similar to Anonyx and Onisimus. Menigrates differs from both of these genera in the reduced number of setal-teeth on the outer plate of maxilla 1 and the weakly subchelate gnathopod 1.
