FIG. 1 in Oostegite development during the sexual maturation of females of Tmetonyx similis (G. O. Sars, 1891) (Amphipoda, Lysianassidae)

FIG. 1. Stages of development of the oostegites on coxae 2–5 in a Tmetonyx similis female. The sequence of the coxae is arbitrary, depending on the spreading of the induction process. The arrows indicate the 'bud' at St 2(-). PL, pigmented line on coxa 5; oost, oostegite; scale 1 gives St 2(-); scale 2 gives St 4 and St 4A; scale 3 gives St 2, St 2A, St 3 and St 3A.
