Description

FIGURE 5. Ventral view of the posterior body region of a male Gordionus wolterstorffii from Iceland. (A) Ventral view of the posterior end with posterior lobes, cloaca (Cl), bristle fields (arrow), and post-cloacal spines (pcs). Scale bar = 50 µm. (B) Posterior lobes showing postcloacal spines (arrows) and bristles (br) on the terminal ends of the tail lobes. Scale bar = 20 µm. (C) Higher magnification showing postcloacal spines with blunt ends and ones that come to a point. Scale bar = 9 µm. (D) Cloacal opening surrounded by circumcloacal spines (arrow). Scale bar = 18 µm. (E) Lateral view of bristle fields showing branched apices on terminal ends of bristles. Scale bar = 10 µm. (F) Close-up of a single bristle showing hand-like branching pattern. Scale bar 3 µm.
