Supporting evidence for this is found in the morphology of the antenna, maxilliped and leg 4. Dakin and Colefax (1940) recorded the species from New South Wales from a depth of 0-200 m were it was 'rare' but it is doubtful whether they were dealing with O. mediterranea since material collected from the Great Barrier Reef and identified with Claus' species proved upon re-examination to belong to a closely related undescribed species. Razouls (1974) described O. mediterranea from the region of Banyuls-sur-mer (Golfe du Lion) and summarized previous records from the Mediterranean Sea. His drawing (Fig. 4G) of the male shows a terminal conical projection on the endopod of swimming leg 4 which disproves his identification as this is a character exclusively found in representatives of the conifera- similis complex. Ferrari (1973, 1975) recorded the species from the Gulf of Mexico and the northern Caribbean Sea and distinguished three size variants, the status of which will be discussed below under 'form variants' of O. mediterranea. Boxshall (1977a) recorded O. mediterranea from the Northeastern Atlantic near the Cape Verde Islands and in another report (Boxshall, 1977b) gave detailed infor- mation on their vertical distribution and diurnal vertical Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Natural History Museum (London).
