Chordodes anthophorus, cuticular structure. A. Entire piece of cuticle from the entire circumference stretched flat. Crowned areoles with long apical filaments are present along the ventral and dorsal midline (arrows), clusters of crowned areoles with shorter filaments are visible on the remaining cuticle. B. Overview on the cuticle showing simple and tubercle (arrows) areoles. B. Magnification showing simple areoles with and without bristles as well as tubercle areoles (tua). C. Crowned areoles with short filaments surrounded by circumcluster areoles. D. Crowned areoles with long filaments.
