Scanning electron microscopy of the fourth instar larva of Migonemyia migonei.
(A) abdominal segments seven to nine of the fourth instar in dorsal view (Scale bars: 50 μm), and (B) ventral view (Scale bars: 100 μm). (C) increased area, ventral view (Scale bars: 5 μm). Setae numbered according to the chaetotaxy proposed in this study ec- external caudal; ic—internal caudal; ps—posterior spiracle; *campaniform sensilla; anterior ventrolateral (4); submedian dorsal (7); mid—dorsal (8); dorsolateral (9); post-ventrolateral (11); post-ventral (12); (Scale bars: 50 μm and 100 μm, respectively); brush-like trichoid sensilla (thick arrow); weakly brush-like trichoid sensilla (thin arrow); long and bare trichoid sensilla (arrowhead).
