B07FE50BFF97C711D298FB3AFB12FD8D.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined: 4 males, eastern tropical Atlantic collected by the Alfred Wegener Institute of Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhaven, Germany, ANT XX / 1, Station 18, 20 o 26 ’ S, 0 5 o 55 ’ E, 19 November 2002, 0 – 300 m. One specimen in formalin (NIWA 45661), two specimens dissected and mounted on slides, one specimen mounted whole on slide (NIWA 45661 / 1 - 3). Supplementary description of male: Male 0.91 mm total length (Fig. 1 A) Antennules symmetrically developed, neither of them geniculate, with 21 free segments, ancestral segments I – IV, V – VIII, XXVII – XXVIII fused. Antenna (Fig. 2 A) well developed, sexually dimorphic. Basis with 2 setae. Endopod 2 - segmented, segment 1 without setae, segment 2 with 6 + 6 setae. Exopod 6 - segmented, segment 1 short without seta, segment 2 elongate bearing enlarged distal seta, segments 3 – 6 each with 1 seta. Mandible (Fig. 2 B) with degenerate gnathobase. Palp well developed. Endopod 2 - segmented, segment 1 with 2 setae, segment 2 with 8 setae, 5 of which elongate, exopod with 6 setae. Maxillule (Fig. 2 C) reduced with degenerate inner lobes and endopod with 2 small setae. Exopod with 8 setae, praecoxal epipodite with 6 large setae. Maxilla (Fig. 2 D) reduced to a small, knob-like remnant. Maxilliped (Fig. 2 E) sexually dimorphic. Inner setae of syncoxa, basis and endopod segments absent or very reduced; 1 terminal and 2 outer endopod setae enlarged, plumose, 2 outer setae directed towards base of limb as is typical of Paracalanidae, Calanidae and Eucalanidae. Leg 1 (Fig. 1 B) endopod indistinctly 2 - segmented, segment 1 without inner seta, segment 2 with 2 terminal and 1 inner setae. Exopod segments 1 and 2 without outer distal spines and 1 seta on inner border of both segments, segment 3 with 1 outer border spine, 1 terminal spine and 4 inner border setae. Surfaces of rami not ornamented. Leg 2 (Fig. 1 C) endopod 3 - segmented, segments 1 and 2 each with 1 inner seta, segment 3 with 2 inner, 2 terminal and 1 outer setae. Exopod 3 - segmented, segment 1 with 1 outer distal spine and without inner border seta, segment 2 with 1 outer distal spine and 1 inner distal seta, segment 3 with 2 outer border spines, 1 distal spine and 5 inner setae. Surfaces of rami not ornamented. Leg 5 (Fig. 1 D) with right leg longest, 5 - segmented on both sides, terminal segment on each side with 1 stout terminal spine and 1 small distal outer border setule. Surfaces of legs not ornamented.	en	Bradford-Grieve, Janet M. (2008): Mecynocera clausi I. C. Thompson, 1888 (Copepoda: Calanoida) is a paracalanid. Zootaxa 1852: 59-64, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.183426
