FIGURE 2. General morphology of male Laelapidae (Gaeolaelaps Evans & Till; modified from Beaulieu, 2009). A, ventral idiosoma (go: genital opening; hs: holoventral shield; mp: metapodal plate; ps: presternal plate); B, chelicera (al: antiaxial lyrifissure; ap: arthrodial process; dl: dorsal lyrifissure; ds: dorsal seta; fd: fixed digit; md: movable digit; pd: pilus dentilis; sd: spermatodactyl). Lyrifissures (poroids) shown in blue and gland pores (solenostomes) in red. Notation: idiosomal setae - Lindquist & Evans (1965) adapted by Evans & Till (1965, 1966) and Lindquist (1994); idiosomal lyrifissures and gland pores - Athias-Henriot (1971), as interpreted by Kazemi et al. (2014). Scale bar = 100 μm for idiosoma, 50 μm for chelicera.
