3.3.2.1
Montistrongylus ingati
3.3.2.1.1 Synlophe.
The
two male
sections (
Figs. 3A, 3C
) differ from each other and seem not to belong to the same taxon. In addition, they have two major differences with the female sections (
Figs. 3B, 3D
): there are two sets of ridges in male
versus
three in female and, on the other hand, in the female sections, the axis of orientation is subfrontal (
Fig. 3D’
) and not oblique, as illustrated in the original figures. In the female proximal body, to be congruent with the female section at midbody, the section should be rotated
ca.
75° counterclockwise (
Fig. 3B’
).
3.3.2.1.2 Bursa.
From the original written description, the left ray 8 is longer than right ray 8 and the right lobe is slightly larger than left one. This means that Figures 63 and 65 are in dorsal view. The pattern is 2-2-
1 in
the right lobe and
2-3 in
the left lobe. The illustration of
two types
of dorsal lobes (Figs. 63 and 65) reinforces the idea that
two types
of males are present among the
type
material,
i.e.
, probably two different taxa. We have no information to attribute the described bursae to a given
type
of synlophe.
