Figure 3

SEM images of the setae from distinct localities (the locality number is highlighted in red). (A) Presumably cuspidate setae with bold shaft and tip bearing small projections from the locality 1 with magnifications (B)–(D). (D, I) Attachment of the setae with the membrane; no socket could be seen. (E) Setae [also at high magnifications (F)–(I)] bearing long serrated setules (plumodenticulate setae), which agglomerated and formed a net, from the locality 2. (J) From the locality 4, long setae [with magnifications (K)–(L)] without setules of denticles, clustering together forming mattes. (M) From the locality 6; long setae [at high magnification (N)] bearing small scales (pappose setae). (O) Setae with small projections on the tip from the locality 7. Scale bars: A, E, 400 µm; B, 80 µm; C, F, 40 µm; D, 8 µm; E, H, K, 20 µm; F, 100 µm; G, L, 3 µm; I, N, 6 µm; J, 200 µm; K, 20 µm; M, 200 nm; O, 2 µm.
