Figures 106–111 in The genus Vachoniolus (Scorpiones: Buthidae) in Oman

Figures 106–111: Graphical illustration of variation in selected morphometric ratios of Vachoniolus. 106. Scatter plot of male variation in slenderness of metasoma I and relative length of pectine (metasoma I L/W vs. pectine L/ carapace L). 107. Scatter plot of variation in relative length of metasoma IV and slenderness of telson (metasoma IV L/ carapace L vs. telson L/W). 108. Scatter plot of male variation in slenderness of metasoma IV and relative proportion of pedipalp chela fixed finger (metasoma IV L/W vs. pedipalp chela fixed finger L/ manus L). 109. Scatter plot of male variation in slenderness of metasoma V and pedipalp femur (metasoma v L/W vs. pedipalp femur L/W). 110. Scatter plot of male variation in slenderness of pedipalp femur and patella (pedipalp femur L/W vs. pedipalp patella L/W). 111. Histogram plots showing distributions of the trichobothrial distance ratio (d5–e2)/(e2–e1) (data from both sexes). Vertical line is crossover point for d5 relative to e2. Note: each histogram bar represents the number of cases with ratio ≤ right abscissa tick mark; for V. globimanus, all data ≤ 0 are actually equal to 0 (i.e. no cases of d5 proximal to e2). The ratio distribution of V. batinahensis was significantly different from that of V. gallagheri (P = 0.0001), and the latter was also significantly different from that of V. globimanus (P = 4·10-6) (Mann-Whitney test). Color codes of all plots: green: V. batinahensis; yellow: V. gallagheri; magenta: V. globimanus; blue: V. iranus. Data in 106–110 from adults, in 111 from all ages.
