- PD the number of pores within rectangle of 2500 μm2 of dorsal cuticle between legs III and IV (hatchlings, i.e. first instars only); PS – pore size, measured as the longest diameter (μm); ExtT, IntT – the number of teeth on external and internal lunules III (adults, i.e. instars 2+ only), respectively; AntT, PosT – the number of teeth on anterior and posterior lunules IV, respectively (adults only); SSIP – pt of the stylet support insertion point (expressed as percentage); CCT – claw common tract index for external claws III (expressed as percentage). Ten specimens have been measured for each trait. For PS, 10 pores each from each of the 10 specimens have been measured
