摘要
The structure of the setae, setules, spines and spinules on the limbs of males and females of Streptocephalus torvicornis, S. rubricaudatus and S. proboscideus are described, based on scanning electron micrographs. The data disclose significant variation among the three species in fine structure of the setules and inter-setular distance. The variation may be related to different trophic specialisations, facilitating the sympatric occurrence of congeneric species.
