Morphological development and ovary histology of Kalliapseudes schubarti Mañe-Garzon (Crustacea, Tanaidacea) from São Sebastião channel, São Paulo, Brasil

Abstract

The morphological stages of the Kalliapseudes schubarti Mañe-Garzon, 1949 females were easily determinated and they were similar, but the male stages show distint forms probably due to the ambient stimuli. The description of the male stages demonstrate that K. gianucai (Bacescu, 1979) is another male stage of K. schubarti, probably a secondary copulatory stage. The morphology and development of the ovary is related both with the maturity and with the morphological modifications of females stages.675683Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq
