Remarks

Morphogenesis: Supposed ancestor of the Parakahliellidae indicated by (1) neokinetal 1 anlagen development still in the rightmost row eight (N1 anlagen develop usually places left in the second ventral cirral row from right), (2) dorsomarginal kineties still without displacement of the dorsal side and (3) neokinetal waves (old cirral row fragments). The development of the dorsomarginal kinety is indicated by the short row of ciliary pairs forming the anterior portion of the rightmost row eight. The old (parental) cirri between row five and six are passed on by the process of neokinetal wave originating here in an unique way from row eight (the usual neokinetal wave would originate here from row six). This special way of neokinetal wave is possibly responsible for placing later the N1 development from a rightmost position (N. hortualis) to the usual position in the second rightmost ventral row. The left marginal rows L1-L4 develop by "neokinetal 2" (N2) development in detail in (Eigner 1994). (ref. ID; 7423)
