(
Fig. 92B, C
)
Material examined
.
4 ♀♀
, 1 ♂ (MNHN-IU-2018-1917) and 1 dissected
♀
(figured) from
Phallusia mammillata
(Cuvier, 1815)
, Banyuls-sur-Mer,
France
.
Remarks
. The female of
N
.
elongatus
has short filiform processes on the dorsal wings of the pedigerous somites. There are 3 filiform processes on the dorsal wing of first pedigerous somite, two processes on each wing of the second and third pedigerous somites, and a single process on the wing of the fourth pedigerous somite (
Giesbrecht, 1882
;
Illg &
Dudley
, 1965
). However, other studies have indicated that these processes are sometimes absent (e.g.
Buchholz, 1869
), or present only on some of the wings (
Fig. 92B, C
).
