Figure 4

Axial view of the 3D structure of An. sinensis (a) and Ae. togoi (d) pupae. Sagittal view of the 3D structure of An. sinensis (b) and Ae. togoi (e) pupae. Axial view of the tracheal system of An. sinensis (c) and Ae. togoi (f) pupae. (g) Comparison of the volume of the tracheal system of both mosquito pupae. (h) Proportions of the tracheal system in the cephalothorax and abdomen of both mosquito pupae. Yellow arrows indicate the positions of the respiratory trumpets. Blue arrows represent the tracheal branches. White arrows indicate the dorsal longitudinal trunks. Scale bars indicate 0.5 mm.
