features characteristic of L. loveni grossipes were exhibited only by sexu- 

 ally mature females 27-29 mm long. The maximum length of the female 

 typical form is 23 mm. 

 64 Distribution: Atlantic Ocean (Bermuda Islands) and tropical waters 



of the Pacific Ocean southeast of Japan and off the Marshall Islands. 



Lanceola loveni antarctica Vinogradov, 1962 (Fig. 13) 



Vinogradov, 1962: 6.— (?) australis Stebbing, 1888: 1310. 

 Length of sexually mature individuals up to 27 mm. 

 Individuals of all ages have dorsal denticles on the pleon somites 

 and denticles on somite I of the urosoma which are stouter than in the 

 typical form; the 6th segment of pereopod I and the rami of the uropods 

 are relatively longer and narrower. The two latter differences are well 

 marked in young specimens (7-12 mm long) and are practically absent in 

 larger individuals (19-27 mm long). True, even in the typical individuals 

 the young specimens have a narrower 6th segment in pereopods I and 

 relatively longer rami in the uropods than do the adults. However, in them 

 the age-dependent changes are not manifest as sharply as in L. loveni 

 antarctica.
