Recent developments on the morphology of the brachyuran foregut ossicles and gastric teeth Author Brösing, Andreas text Zootaxa 2010 2510 1 44 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.294144 ce99f918-054b-4464-a0eb-b176579eb998 1175-5326 294144 Homolidae de Haan, 1839 The membrane of the stomach-sac is comparatively thick compared to all other examined brachyuran species. Dagnaudus petterdi (Grant, 1905) ( Fig. 4 A, B) The mesocardiac ossicle (I) has several posteriorly directed spines. The striped prepterocardiac ossicle (IIa) is more stronger than in Dromiidae and Dynomenidae , and does not reach the midline. A postpterocardiac ossicle (IIb) is not recognisable. The pectinal ossicle (VIII) has a triangular shape with seven accessory teeth. Homola ranunculus Guinot and Richer de Forges, 1995 ( Fig. 4 C–F) and Homola barbata (Fabricius, 1793) The very thin, extensive, paired prepterocardiac ossicles (IIa) join at the midline of the antero dorsal gastric mill. The very small pectinal ossicle (VIII) has a triangular shape with seven accessory teeth. The middle pleuropyloric ossicle (XXXII) has a pointed shape. Paramola cuvieri (Risso, 1816) The pectinal ossicle (VIII) has a triangular shape with 11 accessory teeth. The ventral keel of the anterior ossicle of the cardio-pyloric valve (XVI) is V-shaped. The posterior mesopyloric ossicle (XX) has on its ventral side an anterior as well as a posterior directed spine.
