Dissected adult female in poor condition, body length 2.24 mm. Collected on 30 March 2005 above the sea bed at abyssal depths (3820- 3744 m ) in Antarctic waters ( 62º 32’S 64º 39’W ). Specimen is deposited at the Zoological Museum Hamburg ( ZMH ), University of Hamburg. Description. Female: total length about 2 mm , specimen in a very poor condition. Body shape similar to that of other species of the genus. Setation of intact antenna segments 1–6, mandible, maxillule and syncoxa of maxilliped typical of the genus. Maxilla configuration typical of the genus, praecoxal and coxal endites with 2 setae each, proximal basal endite as 1 setal element; distal endite plus endopod bear at least 7 (?) intact long ribbon-like sensory setae. FIGURE 9 . Kyphocalanus sp. 2 . Female. A, habitus, lateral view; B, posterior prosome and urosome, lateral view; C, rostrum, anteroventral view; D, maxilliped; E, P1; F, P5. Scale bars:A, 0.5 mm, other figures, 0.1 mm. FIGURE 10 . Kyphocalanus sp. 2. Female. A, mandible, palp; B, mandible, gnathobase; C, maxilla, praecoxal, coxal and proximal basal endite; D, maxilla, basal endites and endopod. Scale bars 0.1 mm. Morphology of specimen is typical of the genus Kyphocalanus , however due to its poor condition, it is difficult to discuss its relationship with congeners.
