Figures 173–178 in Reanalysis of Teruelius and Grosphus (Scorpiones Buthidae with descriptions of two new species

Figures 173–178: Analysis of position of petite 'trichobothrium' d on pedipalp femur of Grosphus, Teruelius and Pseudolychas. Figures 2 173–174. Cartesian x-y coordinates for digitizing positions of d and dorsointernal carina in Grosphus madagascariensis (173) and Teruelius 2 olgae (174). Coordinates of d 2 are (d 2x, d 2y) indicated by cyan (173) or yellow (174) symbol. Positions of granules of dorsointernal carina indicated by black symbols. Granules fitted by B-spline (magenta curves) or parametric function (green curves). Ymax: asymptotic value of parametric function. Figure 175. Bivariate scatter plot of minimum distances, s, of d from parametric curve vs. d from B-spline curve (both 2 2 normalized against Y) for femora of Grosphus (n = 34, 14 spp.), Teruelius (n = 49, 20 spp.) and Pseudolychas (n = 3, 3 spp.). Gray diagonal max line: least squares regression for Grosphus and Teruelius data, R = 0.8131, P <0.0001. Symbol colors indicated in legend. Black arrows mark isolated outlier points. Figure 176. Bivariate scatter plot of means of minimum distances for species of Grosphus and Teruelius, summarizing data of Fig. 175. Error bars are standard errors. Gray diagonal line: least squares regression, R = 0.9700, P <0.0001. Figure 177. Bivariate scatter plot of normalized x-y coordinates of d 2 for data in Fig. 175. Abscissas normalized against femur length, L femur, ordinates against Y max. Figure 178. Bivariate scatter plot of means of normalized x-y coordinates for species of Grosphus and Teruelius, summarizing data of Fig. 177. Error bars are standard errors. Data extracted from images of specimens and published figures of femur in dorsal aspect showing granules and trichobothria, in which d 2 could be identified.
