The asperous granules of the prothorax are almost contiguous on the whole surface. |
|
The head is analogous to a statolith, the movements of which are monitored by fields of hair sensilla located on the head, neck, and prothorax. |
|
Relative to the foundress, soldiers have an enlarged prothorax and fore femora, reduced wings and antennae, and a pale exoskeleton. |
|
As an indication of more extreme transformations, the frequency of the presence of sternopleural bristles on the proximal lateral prothorax and metathorax was also calculated. |
|
The prothorax is small, the legs slender, the first pair elongate. |
|
Morphometric variables were body length, 3rd femur length, 3rd tibia length, pronotum length, prothorax height, and tegmen length. |
|
Margin of prothorax ocher with a white spot dorsally on mesothorax, and a conspicuous black spot dorsally on A4 to A5 abdominal segment. |
|
The prothorax was characterized by small paired sternites and a notum bearing hair-like sensilla anteriorly and on lateral margins. |
|
After 80 h, the black discoloration spread toward the metathorax, mesothorax, prothorax, and pleural region, and the abdomen was completely compressed and dehydrated. |
