FIGURE 27 in Description Of Immature Stages Of Prasadiseius Cocytes (Prasad, 1970) (Acari: Otopheidomenidae)

FIGURE 27: Prasadiseius cocytes (deutonymph) — Ventral view showing, in part, posterior three pairs of right legs, left coxae II-IV (LCII-LCIV, anterior first pair not seen) and sternal shield (SS) with setae ST1-ST3 (ST5 not visible). Note sternal shield with lateral concavity anteriorly (LCONC-1) near coxa II in between ST1-ST2 and another (LCONC-2) near coxa IV posterior to ST3. In addition, note a pronounced lateral convexity on each side (LCONV) in between LCII-LCIII and near ST2. A shallow posteromedial concavity (PCONC) could also be seen at the posterior end of SS. Distance between bases of ST2-ST2 much more than in between ST1-ST1 or ST3-ST3. Also, the distance between bases of ST1-ST2 is much larger than in between ST2-ST3 (VP10-36-10, 200x).
