Hyperia longipes Vosseler, 1901:63 [conditional name].

Hyperia longipes Chevreux.–Reid, 1955:18 [lapsus].

DERIVATION OF NAME.–Not given; presumably refers to length of P5–6.

TYPE-LOCALITY.–Eastern Atlantic, 4 Hirondelle stations west of Bay of Biscay, 44°42′–48°25′N, 9°16′–22°14′W.

DIAGNOSIS.–See below, under H. sibaginis.

DISTRIBUTION.–H. longipes has been recorded from warm parts of all the world oceans, but little is known of the details of its distribution. Charts of its occurrence on 4 CalCOFI cruises show its consistent presence offshore from San Francisco south, closer to the coast in the southern part of the area. This pattern fits in general the eastern limits of Brinton’s (1962) pattern for his “central” euphausiid species, which occupy ocean gyrals of midlatitudes 15°–40° in both hemispheres in the Pacific, but with such limited data I can only suggest this possibility.
