, the body is dorsal-ventrally flattened and the eyes lie beneath the integument. The coxae are fused with the ventral shield and the capitulum is not fused with the coxae. Tips of the first three pairs of coxae are rounded or, rarely, somewhat pointed. The fourth coxae have large pointed or rounded projections partially covering the insertion of IV-legs. Genital acetabula vary from four pairs to several. The gonopore is terminal and wide in females, subterminal or ventral in males. Suture line of fourth coxae of females are more or less developed. Setae on capitulum are typically small. Sexual dimorphisms in IV-leg-4 is present in males. Male II-leg can be with or without sexual dimorphism.

Many taxa have only parts of their body or incomplete specimens available for study. What is an accepted practice in paleontology should be equally accepted in neontology. This is not to say that taxa should be described from single specimens if it can be avoided, but if the only specimen available differs enough from currently described species, there is no compelling reason that this information should not be presented to fellow specialists.</paragraph>

The specimen on which this interpretation is based had been in Koenike´s fluid for over 10 years, and no special treatment was applied before the confocal study. It was embedded in glycerine jelly prior to the microscopy study, as explained in Material and Methods section. The CLSM provides images with realism similar to that provided by the ESEM, and the processing of the slices for EDF are much more efficient in CLSM than in bright field microscopy.

specimens and other material of water mites that are stored in microscopic slides in museum and zoological collections around the world (see a partial list in www.watermite.org), something that cannot be said for ESEM. If it is shown that those mites respond to an exciting laser, then it would be possible to restudy structures and morphologies to obtain a more realistic 3D view of the animal.

Although stacks of images taken with CLSM are amenable to rotation as a solid volume in the three-space axis and, as such, are able to provide angles of view not possible with the microscope, it demands high memory and processing capacity from computer systems. An alternative to imaging structures that may not be visible in the 3D composition is to process partial EDF for sets of optical slices.

provides one set of bright field microscopy and CLSM EDF taken with 100 consecutive optical slices of the fourth leg. It can be seen that CLSM better resolves structures that are collinear in the Z axis than bright field microscopy. For example, see the square structure overhanging the strong boomerang shape in

. In this sense, it is also important to check for structures that are shaded through EDF processing, and a correct drawing could complement the 2D summary image. CLSM seems to be, as well, the adequate technique to avoid the problem mentioned by
