FIGURE 9 in Redescription Of Adults Of Prasadiseius Cocytes (Prasad, 1970) (Acari: Otopheidomenidae)

FIGURE 9: Prasadiseius cocytes (Female) — Shield-shaped sternal shield (SS) in between left (LCII) and right coxa II (RCII) and left (LCIII) and right coxa III (RCIII), with 3 pairs of sternal setae (ST1 – ST3) on it. Note distance between ST2 – ST2 much larger than ST1 – ST1 or ST3 – ST3. Also, note vertical distance between ST2-ST3 on each side much shorter than ST1 – ST2. Measurement of vertical distance between ST1 – ST3 and diagonal distance between ST1 – ST3 are also of diagnostic use (400x, VP10-36: 103).
