Light micrographs of Labronema sp. A–E and G–I, abnormal female; F, normal female. A: anterior region in median lateral view; B: posterior genital branch (arrow pointing at the supposed position of vulva); C, E: genital system (arrow pointing at the supposed position of vulva); F: posterior genital branch; G: lip region in lateral surface view; H: entire body; I: caudal region (arrow pointing at anus). (Scale bars: A, G, I = 10 µm; B, D = 50 µm; C, E, F = 100 µm).
