Figure 9 in New species of Vaejovis from the Whetstone Mountains, southern Arizona (Scorpiones: Vaejovidae)

Figure 9: Comparison of the relative positions of five patellar trichobothria et1–et3, est, and v3 of species Vaejovis troupi sp. n., V. grahami, and V. vorhiesi. Top. Trichobothria positions of the three female type specimens. Red lines indicate the angle formed by trichobothria est–et3–v3, contrasting V. troupi from the other two species. Bottom. Each individual pattern for a pedipalp patella is anchored at trichobothrium et1 while other trichobothria are plotted at their relative locations forming clusters. Red lines indicate the average angle formed by trichobothria est–et3–v3. Patterns of left patellae were reversed for these plots which are shown from a right-patella perspective. Only adult female specimens were used in these plots. Number below species name indicates the number of pedipalp patellae considered. Information for Vaejovis vorhiesi and V. grahami lectotype/holotype females was extracted from Graham (2007: fig. 9) and Ayrey & Soleglad (2014: fig. 11).
