Description

FIGURE 5: Torrenticola trimaculata n. sp. integument (A-C. light micrographs; D-E. LT-SEM): A – surface-level view depicting many depressions, each containing many pits, note muscle scars are not yet in-focus; B – mid-level view depicting tubular 'trunks' formed by the convergence of the branches from each pit; C – bottom-level view depicting bases of trunks, note that the muscle scars are infocus; D – surface-level view of a single depression containing many pits that represent the openings of the many internal branches; E – lateral aspect of idiosoma with a tear between the dorsum and venter, note the surface-level depressions on the dorsum (top) and inner-level openings of the 'trunks' into the body on the venter (bottom).
