Figure 14. Heterolepidoderma kolickae sp. nov. A, dorsal view of the posterior neck and the upper trunk region, showing keeled and oblong scales with a truncated posterior end. B, dorsal view of the posterior body region, showing the scale pattern. C, the furca indentation is broadly U-shaped. Adhesive glands are paired and placed right behind the terminal part of the intestine, forming a short dichotomy at the subtle furca base. D, ventral view of the posterior body region, showing the small cordiform scales (arrows) and the paired big oblong keeled scales (arrowheads). ag, adhesive glands; at, adhesive tubes. Scale bars = 10 µm.
