Description

FIGURE 1. Miracarus grootaerti n. sp., female. Dorsal. Individual half contracted. The legs are omitted except on the left side the femur (FI) and genu I, which are incompletely shown. In the prodorsum, only ridges on the dorsal side on the left lamella and on the adjacent part of the dorsovertex are depicted whereas ridges and striae on the ventral side of the right lamella and on the adjacent part of the large groove gr ventral to the lamellae are seen by transparency through the cuticle. On both sides, over a short distance, a broken line near the free border of the lamellae marks the base of the carina tu2. Some ridges are shown on the inferior wall of the pedotecta I. On the right side, the large carina ku is represented by an optical, cross-section on a level with the apparent outline of the superior wall of the pedotectum I whereas it is not detected on the left side (this frequently occurs on one side in this orientation revealing that the carinae ku have not the same length on both sides). Muscle impressions in the median region of the dorsovertex are delimited by dotted lines. Hatching cover: partially an optical, longitudinal section through the tegument of the bottom of the groove gr on the left side (seen through the cuticle of the dorsovertex and of the notogaster on both sides); an optical, cross-section through the upper part of the bothridium on the left side (on both sides shown mainly through the cuticle of the notogaster); and the anterior part of the posterolateral carina kx on the right side. A dotted line delimits muscle insertions: anterodorsal mu.a, latero-dorsal mu.l, and mu.cd of the marginodorsal alignment. Arrows indicate the location of three lyrifissures not visible in this orientation. An optical, longitudinal section of the wall of the large sejugal depression of the podosoma is partially hatched on the right side (on both sides, the section is seen through the cuticle of the notogaster and goes through the base of the pleurophragma hl which is also shown slightly dorsally to the section; posterior part of the wall and cuticular nodules not represented; the section is not perfectly perpendicular to the wall so that the thickness of the wall appears to be broader than it really is).
