unguis

The terminal tarsomere has a densely grown, thick cuticular fringes located between the claws (ungues) of tarsus (Fig.

Nec contentus equi vel canis esu, mox in me rapidos transtulit ungues, discissaque gena sustulit aurem.

et inde erant dolorum amores, non quibus altius penetrarer - non enim amabam talia perperi, qualia spectare - sed quibus auditis et fictis tamquam in superficie raderer: quos tamen quasi ungues scalpentium feruidus tumor et tabes et sanies horrida consequebatur.(50)

Pretarsus with slender ungues and a conical pad, both of them quite equally sized (Fig.

Legs: smooth tegument, with two well developed and symmetrical pedal spurs; telotarsi low and elongated, with a ventromedian row of hyaline setae of the same length as the VL spines, and with well developed ventrolateral spines; spinal formula typical of the group: tarsus I: 1-1 (n = 15); tarsus II: 2-2 (n = 15), tarsus III: 4-4 in most specimens (n = 13), but in some cases there is one additional external spine 4-5 (n = 2), tarsus IV: 4-5 in most specimens (n = 12), but in some specimens there is an additional internal spine 5-5 (n = 3); telotarsal ungues symmetrical, very curved.

Hac forsitan ratlone Pythagoras discipulis suis praecepit in symbolis ne iuxta sacrificium ungues inciderent [my italics].

Ungues without teeth, no unguiculus or tenent hairs.

I-IV, telotarsi each with paired ventrosubmedian rows of fine, acuminate macrosetae; laterodistal lobes truncated; median dorsal lobes extending to ungues; ungues short, distinctly curved, equal in length.

Unguis with a big dorsal teeth and unguiculus filiform, longer than ungues. Abdomen segment V with a dorsal glandular opening and often with one median posterior cuticular tubercle.

pterygocercus: leg III patella L/D 3.1-3.8 (n = 21), ungues relatively short and stout; (5) metasoma II not as strongly flared as in A.
