Fig. 7 in New Species of Lizards from Auyantepui and La Escalera in the Venezuelan Guayana, with Notes on ''Microteiid'' Hemipenes (Squamata: Gymnophthalmidae)

Fig. 7. Euspondylus auyanensis, new species. Apical view of the right everted (in situ) hemipenis of the holotype, showing complex folding of tissue. The two lobes are more closely appressed than in the left organ (fig. 6), probably because of maximal inflation pressure coupled with tension in the major retractor muscle. The following structures also are visible in figure 6 (left side): H, ''hood;'' R, rim of collar around ''basin'' (for impeding flow of seminal fluid?); SF, spinulate flounces; SS, sulcus spermaticus (distal branches not visible). Scale line 5 1 mm.
