Short description

Small Angursa with slender body (106–150 µm long, 19–22 µm width, n=5) and primary clavae shorter than cirri A. Individuals with long cephalic cirri and cirri E. Secondary clavae are present (Fig. 9A, A 2). Short hemispherical sensory organs on legs IV present (Fig. 9A). Males have gonopore as in the original description (Fig. 9B).

Remarks

A. antarctica belongs to the A. lanceolata group with primary clavae shorter than cirri A (Fujimoto & Hansen 2019). This species is recognisable by hemispherical leg IV sensory organs. Annulated scapi of cirri E sometimes not clearly visible (Víllora-Moreno, 1998).
