Postembryonic Development of a Neotenic Pseudoscorpion, Microbisium pygmaeum (ELLINGSEN, 1907)

[摘要] References(17)Cited-By(1)External morphology of postembryonic stages of Microbisium pygmaeum are described with emphasis on the chaetotaxy. The change of numbers of chelal trichobothria through postembryonic development suggests that M. pygmaeum is a neotenic species lacking the stage with 12 chelal trichobothria, the most important characteristic of adults in most other pseudoscopion species.
