Fascinating Morphology of Eubosmina tubicens: Insights into Bosminidae

Eubosmina tubicens is a unique bosminid cladoceran initially described from the Northeast U.S. This species can be identified by a sensory hair situated near the base of the rostrum, a distinctive bulge on the frontal region of the cephalothorax, and a longer, spined mucro compared to other bosminids. The carapace exhibits a squared-off dorsal-posterior end, adding to its identifiable characteristics. The provided plates illustrate various aspects of Eubosmina tubicens, including lateral views and detailed structures such as the mucro and sensory organs.

  1. Class: Crustacea Order: Phyllopoda Suborder: Cladocera Family: Bosminidae Eubosmina tubicens Description: Plate 011a. Lateral view of Eubosmina tubicens. Plate 011b. Sensory bristle and bulge on frontal position on carapace of Eubosmina tubicens. Plate 011c. Mucro of Eubosmina tubicens with spines. Plate 011d. Lateral view (left) and mucro with spines (right) of Eubosmina tubicens. A bosminid species in the cladoceran originally described from the Northeast U.S. It can be distinguished from other bosminids by having a sensory hair located closer to the base of the rostrum than the eye, by having a bulge on the frontal portion of the cepthalothorax, a few spines located on the mucro, a longer mucro than other bosminids and having a squared off carapace at the dorsal-posterior end.
