6a, 8 (see Fig. 1 and
Table 1
).
Parthenogenetic female.
Body ovoid, elongated in lateral view (
Fig. 21
A); strongly compressed laterally and having a well-expressed dorsal keel both on carapace and head. Dorsal margin without depression between valves and head shield, postero-dorsal angle broadly rounded, posterior margin convex, postero-ventral angles broadly rounded. Ventral margin slightly undulated. Rostrum acute, pointed downward (
Fig. 21
B). Three connected main head pores, lateral pores minute. Labrum with a sub-triangular keel; its posterior margin without a denticle, with two groups of fine setules (
Fig. 21
B–C). Row of ventral setae followed by a row of fine setules, in dorsal portion of posterior margin they are strong, denticle-like (
Fig. 21
D–E). Postabdomen very long, narrowing distally, length about 5–6 height (
Fig. 21
F). Preanal portion almost straight, preanal angle well-developed, anal margin almost straight, postanal angle not expressed, postanal margin straight to slifhtly concave; postanal portion 3–4 times longer than anal one. Postanal margin with about 20 clustered postanal denticles with fused bases (
Fig. 21
G). Laterally series of fine setules. Postabdominal claw long, straight, with slightly curved tip; basal spine short, slightly bent, about 0.25 length of claw; few setules at the end of proximal pecten as strong spines (
Fig. 21
G). Antenna I with length about 4–5 width, with three groups of fine setules at anterior face; among nine aesthetascs two longer than the rest, longest aesthetascs as long as antenna I; antennular seta thin, about 1/3 length of antenna I, protruding somewhat distally to middle (
Fig. 21
B). Antenna II short, antennal formula: setae 0-0-3/0-1-3, spines 1- 0-1/0-0-1. Apical setae subequal in size, apical spines very short, spine on proximal exopod segment also very short (
Fig. 21
H). Limb I with ODL bearing a long seta, armed with long setules; IDL with three setae, seta 1 large, well developed, about 1/3 length of ODL seta; setae 2 and 3 thick, curved, hook-like, with a short, setulated distal portion (
Fig.
21
I). Size in our material 0.71–0.80 mm.
Notes.
Yoon (2010)
recorded only
C. rectirostris
Schödler, 1862
from
Korea
but as his illustrations lack denticles on postero-ventral angle of valve, this is not
rectirostris
, but
C. vietnamensis
Than, 1980
. We did not see the former in
Korea
, but found two other species:
C. uncinatus
Smirnov, 1971
and
C. vietnamensis
Than, 1980
. Earlier
Kim (1988)
misidentified
C. uncinatus
from
Korea
as
C. rectirostris
.
According to
Smirnov (1998)
,
C. uncinatus
is distributed in southern Europe,
Israel
,
Iraq
,
Egypt
,
Ethiopia
, Rift Valley in Africa, South West Siberia, Central Yakutia and Central
America
. The American populations most probably belong to a separate species. In general,
C. uncinatus
occupies the southern Palaearctic. It is recorded from the Amur basin (
Kotov et al. 2011a
), where
C. rectirostris
and
C. fennicus
Stenroos, 1898
s. lat.
are also present. At the same time, its presence in tropical
Vietnam
,
Cambodia
and
Thailand
were put in doubt by Sinev (2011), see next section.
