Fig. 7. Scanning electron microscope images of the legs. (A) All three pairs of legs have proximal segments of similar shape but different orientations. One stylet has come out of the sheathing rostrum. The diagram at the left shows the thoraco-coxal and coxo-trochanteral angles of the legs. (B) Ventral view of the coxo-trochanteral joint. A hair plate is present on the anterior edge of the coxa and on the lateral edge of the ventral horn of the trochanter but there is no protrusion from the lateral coxa. (C) Dorsal view of the proximal joints of the right hind leg to show the microtrichia on the medial surface of the coxa, the fusion of the trochanter with the femur and the absence of a protrusion on the dorsal, proximal femur. (D) The tarsus and distal tibia to show the ventral, semi-circular ring of tibial spines at the tibio-tarsal joint.
