Misippus spinolae

Misippus spinolae (Signoret) Ostiole closer to metacoxal cavity than to lateral margin of metapleuron (Fig. 15a); ostiole round, oriented laterally, visible in lateral view; lateral and posterior margins of ostiolar plate leveled with remaining of metapleuron; peritreme obsolete (Fig. 15b), median furrow obsolete. Evaporatorium poorly developed on meso- and metapleuron; on metapleuron, evaporatorium surrounding ostiole, along the metapleural margin of spiracle, and reaching between coxal cavities; on mesopleuron, developed on mesepimeron along the spiracular margin and not reaching lateral margin of mesopleuron; evaporatorium punctate (Fig. 15c); mushroom bodies irregular, alveoli with few trabeculae. Metathoracic spiracle wide; processes of the filter system of regular diameter, processes smooth and connected to each other by lateral expansions (Fig. 15e).Published as part of Weiler, L., Barão, K.
