FIGURES 13–16 in Metaperipatus inae sp. nov. (Onychophora: Peripatopsidae) from Chile with a novel ovarian type and dermal insemination

FIGURES 13–16. Characteristics of legs in representatives of Metaperipatus (SEM micrographs). 13, 15, Metaperipatus inae sp. nov. 14, 16, M. blainvillei. 13–14, Ventral surface of fourth walking leg. In both species, there are four spinous footpads (numbered). The fourth pad is narrow, fragmented (and hardly recognized by light microscopy). The nephridial tubercle (ne) is placed in the middle of the third footpad. 15–16, Feet of adult specimens showing paired claws (cl) and distal foot papillae (arrows) that are duplicated in most cases. Circular insets represent feet in one day (M. inae sp. nov.), and two days old juveniles (M. blainvillei), respectively. Note that in juveniles, there are 3–4 distal papillae that are not duplicated or triplicated yet. Cl = claws, ft = foot, ne = nephridial tubercle.
