Fig. 35. Chuneola spinifera Vinogradov, female (after Vinogradov, 1960b). 



The outer lobe of the maxillipeds is broadly oval, armed on the outer and 

 inner margins as well as on the surface with numerous long strong setae; 

 the well-developed inner lobe bears short setae on the distal margin, and 

 a row of longer setae on the inner margin. 



The coxal plates are trapezoidal, with broadly rounded angles; they 

 increase from I to III and again decrease from V to VII; the last plate is 

 very small and truncated anteroposteriorly. The oostegites decrease from 

 pereon somites II to V. The oostegites of somite V bear long setae only 

 on one side. 



The pereopods are structured as in C. paradoxa. 



The basipodite of uropods I has a highly convex outer margin; both 

 rami taper; the exopodite is much narrower and 2/3 the length of the 

 endopodite. The basipodite of uropods II slightly broadens distally; both 

 rami are equal in width. The basipodite of uropods III is short and broad; 

 the tip of the exopodite is rounded and that of the endopodite pointed. The 

 rounded-triangular telson almost reaches the distal end of the basipodite 

 of uropods III. 



Distribution: The only specimen was found in the Pacific Ocean 

 (38°03' N, 144° 12' E) in a total catch from 0-3,000 m.
