This is a rather narrow species. The furcal joints are elongate ovate in shape and are 
fully twice as long as broad. The apex of each joint is narrowly rounded. The inner margin 
terminates in a small tooth. 
Sapphirina ovatolanceolata has been recorded from the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and 
from the Mediterranean.

Four specimens belonging to this species were obtained from the plankton collected at 
the three following stations.

The male and female of this Sapphirena are moderately wide forms. The furcal joints 
are narrowly oval in shape. Each joint is rather less than twice as long as broad. The apex 
of the joints is broadly rounded. The distal end of the inner margin is produced into a well 
defined tooth. 
Sapphirina scarlata has been recorded from the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and from 
the Mediterranean.
