Figure 2From: The morphology, arrangement, and ultrastructure of a new type of microtrich sensilla in marine isopods (Crustacea, Isopoda) Schematic drawings of the microtrich structures. (A) Excirolana sp., (B) Excirolana orientalis (the cuticular depressions are furnished with three to five knobs arranged in a semi-circular row; in both species, each microtrich has a short collar, elongate shaft, and a tuft of long filaments), (C) Lanocira sp. (with very short collar and shaft, long filaments), (D and E) Sphaeromopsis sarii (shallow flower-shaped cuticular depressions on mid-dorsal surface of pereonite 1; collar spool-shaped, large; shaft large with a tuft of a few long filaments); (F) Sphaeroma khalijfarsi (with short collar, long shaft and filaments); (G) Cymodoce sp. (with medium collar, very long shaft and filaments); CL, collar; SH, shaft; FL, filament; KB, knob.Back to article page
