| Injuries were visible as sclerotized scars in the female ovipositor, and their occurrence increased with mating frequency. |
|
| The cuticle of juvenile stages is thin and weakly sclerotized, and sternal and tergal plates are barely recognizable in the light microscope. |
|
| The majority of the fossil record consists of biomineralized or sclerotized remains as they have a high preservation potential. |
|
| The cephalothorax of spiders is a sclerotized body part that does not change after the final molt. |
|
| The sclerotized spermatheca is flexible and has muscle attachments between the base of the body of the spermatheca and its apex. |
|
| The coarctate is immobile and strongly sclerotized, and it has reduced mouthparts, legs, and musculature. |
|
| Each posterior spiracle has three openings or slits arranged parallel or converging, on a sclerotized plate. |
|
| The larvae have a non-retracting head capsule, consisting of sclerotized chitin, which bears opposing mandibles, antennae, eyespots, and various other sensory structures. |
|
| They are said to be tanned, or sclerotized, and in some species they are also mineralized. |
|
| Larvae are white, legless, with lightly sclerotized head, like scolytid larvae generally. |
|
| Excipulum composed of several layers of polygonal cells heavily pigmented and sclerotized towards the margin and provided with irregular cell protuberances on the outside. |
|
| Catecholamine and histidyl protein cross-linked structures in sclerotized insect cuticle. |
|
| Spermathecae 2, plus a rudimentary 3rd, and a sclerotized ring, subspherical to ovoid with short slender necks. |
|
| Hypopharyngeal sclerites and dorsal and ventral cornua heavily sclerotized except posterior ends of cornua, which are lightly sclerotized. |
|
| The head is enclosed in a hard, heavily sclerotized, unsegmented, exoskeletal head capsule, or epicranium, which contains most of the sensing organs, including the antennae, ocellus or eyes, and the mouthparts. |
|
| Ringlike structures in the body wall were interpreted as sclerotized openings, a key feature of pentastomes. |
|
| Apterae are rather small, pear-shaped dorsoventrally flattened, shining dark brown to almost black on dorsal surface, which is fully sclerotized. |
|
| Palea with a distally located, laterally directed weakly sclerotized area. |
|
| Sclerotized areas light reddish-brown, with obscure cruciform pattern on frontoclypeus, membranous areas pale yellow. |
