Postoral microtrichia [25]

Description

The postoral microtrichia (pom) occur as a distinct strip of raised cuticular ridges between the foramen magnum and the oral cavity and are present in most taxa (Fig. 3c). They are found on either the hypostomal bridge or the postgenal bridge, if present, or sometimes both. No suture or ornamentation is present in Chiloe. In Asaphes, there is a pair of postoccipital plates that mostly cover the strip, but it is visible between them. These are the same as the microtrichia of Vilhelmsen (Vilhelmsen, 1996) and the median stripe of ornamentation on the postgenal bridge of Lotfalizadeh et al. (2007).Citations: Lotfalizadeh et al. (2007: 56, 57; Gates (2008: 16).
