Species Orientopsyllus investigatoris - Plate 1 of morphological figures

issued from : R.B.S. Sewell in The John Murray Expedition, 1933-34, Scientific Reports, IX (2), 1949. [p.130, Fig.36] .
Female (from Nankauri Harbour, Nicobar Is.): A, habitus (dorsal); B, idem (lateral right side); C, genital segment (lateral); D, A1; E, P1; F, P3; G, P4; H, P5.

Nota: Proportional lengths of the anterior and posterior regions in 2 specimens: 51:49 and 53:47. 4th thoracic segment with rounded postero-lateral margins. Proportional lengths of the posterior body region (from 5th thoracic segment to caudal rami) as 11:6:6:61:16 = 100.. genital segment with a pair of curved hook-like (\"egg-setae\"). Caudal rami are two and a half times as long as wide, slightly divergent; each ramus bears 1 seta about half-way along the outer margin, 4 setae, of approximately equal length, on the distal end, and 1 small accessory seta on the dorsal aspect.. A1 6-segmented; proportional lengths as 15:31:22:9:10:13 = 100; the 5th segment with a sensory filament. No A2 and mouth-parts. P5 reduced to a single segment, with distally 2 spines of unequal length.
