Fig. 1 in Extraordinary morphological changes in valve morphology during the ontogeny of several species of the Australian ostracod genus Bennelongia (Crustacea, Ostracoda)

Fig. 1. SEM photographs showing detailed internal views of the anterior portion of the right valves to highlight key features. Top: Adult Right valve (=RV) of Bennelongia gwelupensis Martens et al., 2012 from Lake Gwelup, that clearly displays the lapel, characteristic of right valves of Bennelongia adults, which is seen as an extension of the old valve margin. The selvage in this species is very well pronounced. Bottom: Last instar (=A-1, standing for adult-1 stage) of Bennelongia gwelupensis Martens et al., 2012 from Katanning Road pool. Note the prominent inner list that is rarely seen in A-1 specimens in species of Cyprididae, except in Bennelongia species, and the well calcified selvage replacing the valve margin.
