Figure 16 A-F in Paedomorphosis and sexuality in Eulohmanniidae (Acari, Oribatida): surprising diversity in a relictual family of oribatid mites

Figure 16 A-F. Eulohmannia ribagai(Berlese): A – contents of esophagus (left) and accumulating food bolus in ventriculus (right) in strongly cleared adult (arrows to plant tracheal fragments); B – food bolus in ventriculus of cleared Tn (Germany); C – partially filled bolus in colon of slightly cleared adult, two focal planes (Sweden; white arrow to gelatinous outer layer, black arrows to possible bryophyte spores); D fecal pellet in postcolon of adult (arrow to fungal hypha); E – fecal pellet in postcolon of adult (Nova Scotia); F – fecal pellet in postcolon of adult (Alberta) with microsporidians in cleared gut wall (insert = enlargement of microsporidians, 2 µm long). G-L. Eulohmannia bifurcata Fujikawa, holotype (13642): G – habitus, with rectangles marking location of other images; H – region of podocephalic canal, ventral to top (right insert = enlarged setaeI); I – empodium of pretarsus IV; J – chelicera, abaxial view (insert = enlargement of cotyloid region, arrow on edge of articulating cuticle); K – rutellum, ventral view; L – distal part of tarsus I, midline focus (image inverted vertically for consistency); M – palp tarsus, abaxial (top), adaxial (bottom). Scale bars 100 µm (G); 20 µm (A-F all to same scale); 10 µm (H, J); 5 µm (K-M); 2 µm (I).
