Fig. 31. Chuneola paradoxa Woltereck, female (after Vinogradov, 1962). 



flagellum is only slightly longer than the three-Segmented peduncle; the 

 flagellum terminates in two very small distal segments that often are not 

 developed. Antennae II have a vesicular, relatively large basal segment; 

 in young specimens it is shorter than the peduncle of antennae I, while 

 in the adult female it is almost the same length as antennae I. 



Maxillae I have a narrow one-segmented palp, which is longer than 

 the broad outer lobe, with a straight distal truncated edge armed with 

 4-5 spines; the inner lobe is small and narrow. The maxillipeds have an 

 oval outer lobe armed with long setae, and a relatively large, distally 

 narrowing inner lobe apically bearing one long and strong and one-two 

 small setae. 



The coxal plates are elongated-rectangular, with rounded margins 

 and a shallow notch on the lower margin. The pereopods are relatively 

 short and strong. The 2nd segment of pereopods I is slightly shorter 

 than the 5th and 6th segments together, its width 1/2 its length; the 

 oval 5th segment is equal to or slightly larger than the distally taper- 

 ing 6th segment (in Woltereck' s illustration the 5th segment is shorter 

 than the distally broadened 6th segment); tip of the 6th segment with 

 a depression into which the slightly curved claw retracts partly. Pere- 

 opods II are similar in structure but slightly longer than pereopods I; 

 their 5th segment is equal to or slightly shorter than the 6th segment.
