Description

FIGURE 9. CSLM micrographs of the muscles of Cephalodasys mariannae sp. nov. paratype. A–B: Imaris-rendered CLSM image of a phalloidin and DAPI stained photography, muscles in grey and nuclei in cyan. A: Dorsal view; B: Ventral view. C: Dorsal view of the maximum intensity projection (MIP) of the whole specimen, dashed lines indicating the correspondent position of transversal sections of the body. D–K: CLSM virtual transverse section of various parts of the specimen indicated on C. L: Imaris-rendered CLSM image of the connector branch of somatic and splanchnic circular muscles. Asterisk indicates dorsal longitudinal muscles, white arrowhead indicates central ventral longitudinal muscles, yellow arrowhead indicates ventral longitudinal muscles and white arrow indicates connector branch of somatic and splanchnic circular muscles. Abbreviations: an, anal opening; cmi, circular muscles of intestine region; dscm, dorsal semicircular muscle; lm1, lateral longitudinal muscle 1; lm1b, anterior branch of lm1; lm2, lateral longitudinal muscle 2; pc, circular muscle of the pharynx; ppo, pharyngeal pore opening; scm, somatic circular muscles branch; vlm, ventrolateral longitudinal muscle.
