Two adult females and two adult males used for SEM.</p> <p>Description</p> <p>Female. Body measuring 1800–1950 µm excluding caudal setae, fifth pediger without dorsal process; urosomal length 23–24.3% of the body length (Figure 2A). Antennule 25-segmented, almost reaching end of prosome. Armament per segment as follows: 1s+1ae; 3s; 1s; 1s; 1s; 1s; 1s; 1s+1sp; 2s; 1s; 2s; 1s+1sp+1ae; 1s; 1s; 1s; 1s; 1s; 1s; 1s; 1s; 1s; 2s; 2s; 2s; 5s. Antennular segments 17, 19, 20 and 22 bearing one short, distally curved seta (Figure 2B). Metasomal wings not projected, urosome with genital double-somite 1.47–1.5 longer than wide, anal somite, and furcae which are hairy along medial margin, and bear a tiny spine close to insertion of lateral seta (arrowed in Figure 2C). Fifth leg with Enp shorter than Exp1; Enp unsegmented with two long, distal, feathered setae, which have more than half of the Enp length plus thin, distal spines (Figure 2D). Exp2 a curved claw; Exp 3 small but distinct (arrowed in Figure 2E). Genital somite with short spines laterally; genital field with strong convex plates projected ventrally (Figure 2F, G).</p> <p>Male. Total body length excluding furcal setae 1750–1875 µm; urosome represents 26.6–28.5% of total body length (Figure 3A). Left fifth leg with two exopodal segments (left Exp1 arrowed in Figure 3B); distal segment cylindrical, with one short lamella and one long seta. Left End spiny, long, reaching the distal region of left Exp1 (Figure 3C). Right basis with three chitinous, triangular projections on posterior side (one basal and two medial), and one hook-like lamella as long as Exp1 (Figure 3B); right Exp1 quadrangular, Exp2 bearing one distal, short aculeus plus one terminal, long spine (Figure 3B). Right Enp shorter than Exp1, with a group of spines at tip (Figure 3D). Right antennule 22-segmented with armament per segment as follows: 1s+1ae; 3s; 1s; 1s; 1s; 1s; 1s; 1s+1sp; 1s+1ae; 1sps+1ae; 1sps+1ae; 2ae+1sp; 1sps+1ae; 2ae+1s; 2ae+1s; 1sps+1s+2ae; 1ae; 0; 1s; 2s; 2s; 5s+1ae (Figure 3E); antepenultimate antennular segment with a thin, hyaline membrane (Figure 3F).</p> <p>Remarks</p> <p>Aglaodiaptomus clavipes is considered a Nearctic species (Suárez-Morales et al. 2010), with records in Mississippi, Alberta, Manitoba and northern Mexico. This is the southernmost record of the species. Specimens from Chiapas were assigned to A. clavipes because of the lack of projection in antepenultimate segment of right male A1, the presence of hyaline lamella in the same segment, and the ornamentation of the male P5.</p> <p>However, some morphological variations were found when Mexican specimens were compared with the illustrated analysis by Wilson and Yeatman (1959) with specimens from USA: the females surveyed here bear shorter antennules, and the spine close to the insertion of furcal lateral seta in the specimens from Chiapas is absent in the female illustrated by Wilson and Yeatman. On the other hand, the right EnpP 5 in Mexican specimens is shorter than right Exp1P 5 in males, in comparison with the sub-equal length in both structures in specimens from the USA.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03853E42FFE6FFD7BAF1FF46FC274B49	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The new species can be distinguished from other known species of Mastigodiaptomus by the combination of several unique characters such as the wrinkled and striated genital-double somite in females, or the tiny spines on the dorsal surface of urosomal somites in males. The ornamentation of the right basis and Exp2, and the looped tips of the aculeus and terminal claw of the fifth leg in males, or the curved tips in terminal spines of all P1–P4, and the long rostral points in females and males are also relevant diagnostic characters in the new species.</p> <p>Other morphological differences were found when M. suarezmoralesi sp. nov. was compared with the eight known Mastigodiaptomus species, especially in the female urosome and male fifth leg. The morphological comparison is on Table 3.</p> <p>The dorsal process on the last thoracic segment was absent in all the adult females surveyed here; this character has been recorded as variable in or between populations of M. amatitlanensis (Wilson and Yeatman 1959); M. texensis (Wilson 1953); M. albuquerquensis (Bowman 1986); and M. montezumae (Santos-Silva et al. 1996). Mastigodiaptomus reidae is another species without this process (Suárez-Morales and Elías-Gutiérrez 2000). According to Wilson and Yeatman (1959), in M. purpureus the dorsal projection on the fifth female pediger is always present.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03853E42FFEBFFD0BAB7FF3EFCFE4DEC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
