a carapace, dorsal view; b third and fourth thoracic
sternites, ventral view; c left third maxilliped, lateral view; d telson, external view.
Abdominal
sternites without discal setae,
sternite with exceptional long posterior marginal setae (Fig.
Sternites 2 to 6 rectangular,
sternites 7 and 8 membranous, all
sternites covered with setae and scales, trichoid sensilla absent.
The family is characterised by the absence of trichobothria on the antennae; the presence of mostly symmetrical, unsegmented chitinous hooks at tip of abdomen; a maximum of four placoid sensilla on terminal article of antennae; thorax with two pairs of spiracles on
sternites II and III; abdominal
sternite 1 with a pair of styles and a pair of lateral subcoxal organs.
There are two setae row on the
sternites. Post-spiracular seta IV is shorter than the others.
2) corroborated, once again, that the alcohol (DTOH) is extracted only from the abdominal region of the termite, specifically from the ventral
sternites.
8): Tergite IX and X fused, forming large wide plate, with two pairs of long lateral setae and four pairs of thin fine posterior submarginal setae; subgenital plate large, formed by
sternites VII to XI, posterior margin with median short process, bearing latero-posterior setae; terminal segment with 01 pair of long lateral seta and 04 posterior submarginal + two marginal setae.
Al analizar algunas especies del genero que ocurren en Peru, Grados (2004) menciono que los machos presentan organos androconiales en forma de penacho de pelos alargados en las areas antero-laterales de los
sternites abdominales IV, V, VI y VII.
Sternites 2-7 sclerotized, rectangular, with two rows of setae, many setae mesally, few setae laterally, basal pair of trichoid sensilla, and scattered scales;
sternite 8 sclerotized, squarish, with setae from midlength to distal margin, basal pair of trichoid sensilla, and scattered scales.
In this case, adult pseudoscorpions attach themselves to the abdominal
sternites of the fly Fannia canicularis (Linnaeus, 1761) (Lira et al., 2014).
Sternite I setulose;
sternites II-V at fore margin each with a widely spaced pair of alpha-sensilla;
sternites Ill and IV with a pair of strong hind marginal setae.
