Fig. 9. Scanning electron micrographs of the femoral protrusion of a left hind leg
viewed dorsally. The different parts of this figure are shown at the same
magnification as comparable parts of Fig.
8. (A) The trochantera of both hind legs are partially depressed
and reveal the femoral protrusion and the coxal protrusion on the left hind
leg. (B) Higher magnification of the femoral protrusion (boxed in A) shows
that it is covered in microtrichia whereas the surrounding cuticle is smooth.
(C) Microtrichia cover the femoral protrusion and closely spaced hairs are
present anteriorly. (D) Higher power view of the microtrichia on the femoral
protrusion.
