Rhopalum sp.
Rhopalum sp.
In this direct lateral view I’m tempted to think the prepectus flat, with a distinct anterior edge.
Rhopalum sp.
This is the same specimen as in the previous image, but now viewed anteroventrally. The rounded shape of the prepectus is more evident.
Rhopalum sp.
No sign of a flattened or edged region on the terminal tergum – i.e. no pygidial plate.
I presume the pair of large, lateral structures are part of the male genitalia. The parameres / gonostyle I guess..
[The small ovoid object I suspect is a parasite of some type]
