In general the shape of the body and of the individual segments, their position and sculpturing resemble D. haitiensis but the following differences are noted. In the males the keels of segments 2, 3, and 4. Fig. 27. Docodesmus griseus. Right hand gonopods with sternum and coxal joints of ensuing legs. are obliquely raised a little above the horizontal; the posterior seg- ments of both sexes have the keels produced farther backward and more acute; quadrate areas of the dorsum with the central tubercle larger, no additional smaller tubercles present; raised ridge across the front of each metazonite as high or higher than in D. haitiensis and more irregular at apex. Anal valves notably flattened, especially near the scale, the margins lower and broader than usual; surface, and that of the scale, smooth and shining. Gonopods as shown in figure 27. Males with each coxal joint of the fourth legs bearing a broad, low swelling covered with fine erect setae. Females with the ventral crest of the third segment higher than in most other species, thin, rising gradually from each side to the broadly rounded median portion; surface behind the crest low and nearly Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Harvard University.
