Figure 7

Development of last leg-bearing segment in a single animal. Specimen immersed in mineral oil, still alive in A, A1, dead in B; A: Lateral view, B: ventral view. A Strigamia proembryoid I with 48 well-formed limb buds on as many segments; A1: high magnification of the terminal part of the trunk, showing no apparent external segmentation posterior to the 48th LBS. B: same individual as the one in A, at the adolescens I stage, with 49 well formed legs and associated segments, followed by genital segments. Numbers indicate the number of the LBS and associated limb buds; h: head. Scale bars: A: 200 μm; A1: 100 μm; B: 500 μm.
