: fig. 64b, c). On the dorsal surface of the carapace, ventral surfaces of the thoracic sternum and pleon, and surfaces of the pereiopods, these setae are short and squamiform, forming clumps which resemble patches of granules but do not completely obscure the surface. Along the margins of the structures, however, these scale-like structures are larger and stalked to various degrees, resulting in distinct clavate setae. These clavate setae are often closely packed, making the cristae and margins higher and more prominent than they actually are.
