, a partial trichobothrial pattern is shown for the dorsal-external and ventral aspects of the chela (12 trichobothria), and the dorsal and ventral aspects of the patella (29 trichobothria (11 accessory)); trichobothrial pattern of the femur is unknown. In this pattern, major neobothriotaxy is well illustrated on the patellar ventral surface, with 14 trichobothria in view. This is an important observation, since we now know that neobothriotaxy in this species occurred at least 100 Ma ago, derived from the orthobothriotaxy which is presumably
