Figure 3 - Acanthodasys paurocactus sp. n. A Closeup of dorsal cuticle of adult specimen, with focus on two types of spineless scales (circled) and uniancres (un), DIC optics. Scale bar = 12 µm. B Closeup of lateral cuticle of specimen showing lanceolate-shaped scales and eye-shaped scales, SEM. Some scales have perpendicular ridges (white arrowhead) or bumps (white arrow). Uniancres (*) arise from quadrangular-shaped scales. Scale bar = 4 µm. C Closeup of ventral trunk region of adult specimen showing location of ventral locomotory cilia (lc) and small ventral uniancres. Scale bar = 12 µm. Abbreviations: ci sensory cilium next to scales ep epidermal gland opening with raised cuticular ridge es eye-shaped scales lc locomotory cilia ls lanceolate scales TbVl ventrolateral adhesive tube un uniancre.
