We also like to state, that the mentioned above “anterior transverse suture” of tergite 1 is much deeper and considerably more sclerotized (

) compared to any other (cephalic, tergal or sternal) sutures. Thus, in our opinion, it actually looks like as a mark of the former joint of two neighboring sclerites (segments?) than any ordinary suture (see Discussion below). It is interesting, that in a few ZMMU specimens (for example Rc 6988) the oblique sutures on long tergites are considerably less developed than on short tergites.
