FIGURE 2 in Molecular phylogeny, morphology and taxonomy of Moroccan Triops granarius (Lucas, 1864) (Crustacea: Notostraca), with the description of two new species

FIGURE 2. Schematic drawing of A, a detail of the right lateral margin of the telson of a Triops granarius specimen in dorsal view, showing how the length of the largest furcal spine was measured (dotted line), and B, the endopodite of the second trunk limb in anterior view, demonstrating how the length of the endopodite was measured (dotted line). C, a detail of the row of digging spines positioned at the margin of the endopodite showing three examples of length measurements (dotted lines; note that in the present example the largest spine cannot be identified easily so that several rather large spines have to be measured in order to obtain a value for the length of the largest spine) and the position of subsidiary lines used for measurements of spine lengths (dashed lines). D, the distal part of the endopodite showing the distal claw and three of the digging spines. The point where the dashed line (drawn from the base of the distal claw) meets the dotted line (median line of the distal claw) was used as the starting point for length measurements of the endopodite (in the present study the base of the distal claw was defined as the point where the distalmost digging spine diverges from the endopodite). Grey bars (directed approx. in a right angle to measured lines) indicate where measured lines start and end. Abbreviations: C, distal claw; DS, digging spines; SP, largest furcal spine; SPL, length of largest furcal spine; TE, telson; F, furcal ramus.
