This case is similar to that of the G. rhamni L. in the respect that here also the paired female papillae and the paired male valvae are divided from one another by the frontal plane. Lycxna argus L.

A deformed, strongly chitinized, plate lying in the body cavity between the 8th and Qth tergites may be considered as male valvoid, because on its distal extremity it 1 Species with claws on the fore 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 Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ); Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mas
