has been variously characterized over the years, usually as heavily pollinose, as under a light microscope it can appear to consist of a dense mat of compact wool-like material. SEM micrographs (fig. 1) show that it consists of dense tomentum that occurs on smooth integument with no punctures or depressions at the base. The tomentum is consistent in length and diameter wherever it occurs on the body and is the same between all species. The tomentum is reclinate and generally measures about 12 μm.
