FIGURE 8. Anterior end and midbody cuticular structures of an adult free-living male Gordionus wolterstorffii from the Faroe Islands. (A) Tapered anterior end. Scale bar = 0.5 mm. (B) Indeterminant areoles (a) on the anterior end. Note areoles are without interareolar furrows. Scale bar = 50 µm. (C) Higher magnification of indeterminant areole showing tubercle (t) and distinct pore. Scale bar = 10 µm. (D) Higher magnification of tubercle. Scale bar = 2.5 µm. (E) Midbody cuticular pattern. Scale bar = 200 µm. (F) Higher magnifications of midbody section showing fused areoles forming strips separated by numerous interareolar pores. Scale bar = 100 µm.
