Figure 5

SEM micrographs and 3D reconstructions of Tricholepidion gertschi ;. a) frontal overview of the head; scale bar 200 μm; b) detail of the externally visible part of the anterior mandibular articulation; scale bar 20 μm; c) detail of the anterior mandibular articulation complex. d) detail of the clypeal region and the labrum; e) extrinsic and intrinsic labral musculature; f) frontal view of the anterior mandibular articulation complex illustrating the caliper-like form built by the anterior tentorial arm and the clypeus. The white arrow shows the viewing angle for Figure 5g); g) dorsolateral view of the anterior mandibular articulation complex.
