The Solifugce ap- proach insects in the segmentation of the body. The cephalo-tho- rax is divided into two regions of which the an- terior is comparable to the insect head, the pos- terior (composed of three segments) to the insect thorax. The long cylin- drical abdominal region, which is composed of nine to ten segments, is quite distinct (fig. 413). The body is closely covered with hairs. The oral apparatus consists of powerful chelicera?, which end in a large vertically placed chela, the lower arm of which can be moved perpendicularly against the upper. The pedipalpi serve as ambulatory legs, but are with- out claws, which are found only on the three posterior pairs of legs. The latter arise from the three free thoracic rings, and bear peculiar cutaneous lamella? at their base. The anterior pair of legs belongs to the head and may be considered as a second pair of pedipalpi (maxillary palps).
