Abstract
The morphology of the Hyperiidea varies among the families and their genera,
but a generalized body form is illustrated in Fig. 1. A species frequently
found in the China seas. The orphological terminology used in the present
study follows Bowman and Gruner (1973).
In general. Hyperiideans are laterally compressed and considerably longer
than wide. The body is inflated in some families of the Scinoidea and
Platysceloidea, and in some cases individuals may roll themselves up into
a ball (conglobation) as in species of Platyscelus ( Platyscelidae) and
Thyropus (Parascelidae). The Oxycephalidae in at the other extreme with
an elongate and thin body, as for instance, the meedle-like form in the
species of Rhabdosoma.
