Ovipositor Internal Microsculpture in the Relic Silverfish Tricholepidion gertschi (Insecta: Zygentoma)

Figure 1

General organization of microsculpture on the inner surface of the ovipositor in the silverfish, Tricholepidion gertschi, diagrammatically. Rectangles indicate relative locations of the SEM micrographs given in the next figures (except Figures 2(d), 3(c), 3(d), and 4(a)). Black dots indicate the ovipositor parts with dome-shaped sensilla. GA8 and GA9: the gonapophyses of 8th and 9th segments, respectively.
