Figure 8. A, tibial dorsal scalation of Phymaturus patagonicus (MCN 3561). B, central area of the same view of P. patagonicus (same specimen) tibia, showing scales in detail (character 220). Almost every dorsal tibial scale carries a spine and a scale organ on the distal tip of the scale (arrow; character 222). C, tibial dorsal scalation of Phymaturus palluma (MCN 3131). D, central area of the same view of P. palluma (same specimen). Scale organs hidden under the scale spines. E, tibial dorsal scalation of Phymaturus denotatus (MCN 3160). F, central area of the same view of P. denotatus (same specimen). The arrow indicates granular scales spread out among tibial scales (character 223). Scale bars: A, C, E, 5 mm; B, D, F, 2 mm.
