Type material.

Holotype female dissected on 21 slides (reg. no. SMF 37133/1-21) from station 1164, multi corer 9. Undissected paratypes: one female (reg. no. SMF 37134/1) from station 1151, MUC 12 and one subadult copepopid stage V (CV) (reg. no. SMF 37135/1) from station 1151, MUC 10. All specimens were collected during the Overflow, Circulation and Biodiversity Expedition of the RV “Meteor” (Cruise No. M85/3).

Type locality.

Norwegian Sea (IceAGE cruise M85/3, 1164) (Fig. 1; Table 1).

Etymology.

The specific epithet is built by combining the Latin talpa, meaning a mole, and the ancient Greek lexeme μορφώ ( morphó), "the Shapely One".

Description.

Female. Total body length 986.7 μm (holotype) and 1000.0 μm (paratype) (N = 2; mean = 993.4 μm). Largest width measured at posterior margin of P2-bearing somite: 400.0 μm (holotype) and 437.5 μm (paratype) (N = 2; mean = 418.7 μm).

Body (Fig. 12 A–C) with clear distinction between prosome and narrower urosome. Prosome 5-segmented, with cephalosome and four free pedigerous somites. Cephalosome with minute spinules covering surface and anastomosing reticulation towards rostrum and along margins; additional ornamentation consisting of sensilla and pores; posterior margin slightly serrate. Pedigerous somites with reticulation along posterior margins and ornamentation consisting of sensilla; lateral margins of third and fourth pedigerous somites expanded posteriorly forming hook-like projections laterally; posterior margins serrate.

Segment I the longest, with rows of setules along outer and inner margins, with small spinules along outer distal corner; segment III with aesthetasc fused basally to seta and set on distinct pedestal; segment VII with aesthetasc fused basally to one naked seta.

A2 (Figs 14B, C, 15C, D) 3-segmented, comprising cylindrical coxa and allobasis, and flattened 1-segmented enp. Coxa small, with spinules along inner margin. Basis and enp-1 fused, forming elongate allobasis, with denticles along abexopodal margin and patch of spinules; abexopodal seta bipinnate. Free enp ornamented with rows of spinules on anterior surface; medial armature consisting of three pectinate spines and one bipinnate seta; apical armature consisting of four pectinate spines, one naked seta and three elements fused basally (one bipinnate seta, one unipinnate seta and one small flattened seta). Exp 4-segmented; distal segment with row of spinules; armature formula: I-[two pinnate], II-[one pinnate], III-[one pinnate], IV-[three pinnate].

Pereopods (Figs 18C, D, 19 A–C, 20 A–D) biramous and flattened; exp and enp bent inwards, especially on P1 and P2. Praecoxa without ornamentation. Coxa with row of spinules along distal margin (P1) or anterior surface (P2-P4). Basis with (P1) or without (P2-P4) bipinnate seta on outer proximal corner, with bipinnate seta on inner distal corner, ornamentation consisting of patches of setules along outer (P1) and distal margins. Exp 3-segmented; exp-1 with rows of setules along inner and outer margins, exp-2 with rows of setules along inner (P1, P2) and outer margins (P1, P4). Enp 3-segmented (P1), 2-segmented (P2, P3) and 1-segmented (P4); enp- 1 with rows of setules along outer margin (P2, P3) or naked (P4). P1-P4 spine and setal formulae as follows:

P5 (Figs 13E, 19D). Protopod fused to supporting somite, pointing outwards. Exp with three bipinnate setae.

Male unknown.

Remarks.

P4exp-3 bears two outer spines in the normal condition (formula [II, II+1, I], two females). However, in one female, P4exp-3 displayed [II, II+1, I] on one side and [I, II+1, I] on other side (Fig. 19C)

In the juvenile CV, segmentation and armature of P1-P4 as in Hase lagomorphicus gen. et sp. n.
