| Summary: | FIGURE 6. Cuticular structures of adult free-living male (A–G) and female (H–J) Gordionus wolterstorffii from site 33 in Iceland. (A) Type I, polygonal areoles (a) on the anterior body region. Note the blunt tubercles (t) within the interareolar furrows. Scale bar = 5 µm. (B) Type II, flat, plate-like areoles (a) in the midbody region forming long strips separated by interareolar furrows resembling fused areoles. Scale bar = 10 µm. (C) Flat undefined areoles (a) with irregular, shallow furrows that fused to form strips not separated by interareolar furrows. Scale bar = 10 µm. (D) Type I polygonal areoles (a) located on the ventral side of the posterior region. Scale bar = 8 µm. (E) Lateroventral region showing rows of adhesive warts (aw). Note areoles are less prominent in this region. Scale bar = 42 µm. (F) Higher magnification of the adhesive wart field showing arrangement of individual adhesive warts (aw). Scale bar = 22 µm. (G) Higher magnification of an individual adhesive wart (aw) within a sulcus. Scale bar = 6 µm. (H) Type I polygonal, flat plate-like areoles (a) on the anterior body region. Scale bar = 16 µm. (I) Midbody region with areoles. Scale bar = 105 µm. (J) Type I polygonal areoles (a) without interareolar furrows located on the posterior body region. Scale bar = 16 µm.
