Figure 5. Scanning electron micrographs of Macellomenia morseae. (A) Juvenile specimen mounted with ventral surface facing upwards; anterior end (ant) and pedal groove (pg) indicated. Scale bar 200 µm; (B) close-up of pedal groove showing two types of pedal scales, pointed (a) and broad with a notch (b). Scale bar 20 µm; (C) lateral sclerites, some in the centre of the image showing cup-shaped broadened bases Scale bar 25 µm; (D) pedal pit (pp) surrounded by pointed scales (a). Scale bar 25 µm; (E) light micrographs of epidermal sclerites (black background: polarized light filter). Note nail-shaped sclerites (n) and more asymmetrically shaped sclerites (asterisk) in lateral (to the left and to the right) and frontal (centre of image) views; both types of pedal sclerites (a, b) are very thin and delicate. Scale bar 50 µm.
