  1. A1 antenna 1, AF accessory flagellum, MF main flagellum, Mp maxilliped, dent denticulate, juv juvenile, P pereiopod, Ped peduncle, R ratio, sa subadult, UP uropodal peduncle; Data from the Ross Sea obtained from one specimen (♀, sa ♂, juv ♀d), three specimens (sa ♀), or four specimens (juv ♀c, juv ♂). Italic characters serve to differentiate the two subspecies of D. enigmatica

  3. bLedoyer (1993)
  4. cOlder stage than in Ledoyer (1993)
  5. dSame stage as in Ledoyer (1993)
  6. eThe drawing of the original description differs to the text, in which the postanal part is three times longer than the preanal part
  7. fThe maximum number observed is given, but may be less as the spines seem to be broken off or not developed (numbers may vary in the same specimen)
