Anterior lateral processes broader than posterior pairs, imparting triangular aspect to trunk in dorsal view. Proboscis tapering from broad base gradually to narrow distal section and tiny mouth, curved dorsally in distal half. Legs short; tibiae short, with setose bulges. Auxiliary claws tiny, sometimes absent (Ref. 2115, p. 41).
A benthic species found in intertidal and subtidal areas (Ref. 83931). Coastal to shelf (Ref. 19); shallow depths; from shore to 40 m (Ref. 1852). Epibiotic (Ref. 116112).
Life cycle and mating behavior
परिपक्व अवधि | पुनरुत्पत्ति | मछलीऔ का अंडे देना | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Members of the class Pycnogonida are gonochoric and sexually dimorphic. During copulation, male usually suspends itself beneath the female. Fertilization occurs as the eggs leave the female's ovigers. Males brood the egg masses until they hatch. Life cycle: Eggs hatch into protonymphon larva then to adults.
