Leg setation in Afronothrus View in CoL

Wang et al. (1999) presented the ontogeny of leg setation in A. incisivus . Notable traits include; the presence of four larval setae (including cʺ) on tibia I, with a final complement of five; the absence of cʺ from larval tibia II, with a final complement of four; the absence of several fundamental tarsal setae, including the primilateral pair ( pl) from tarsus I, primiventral setae ( pv) from tarsi II and III, and fastigial seta ftʹ from tarsus III. Pair ( a) form on tarsi I–III, seta aʹ forms on tarsus IV, but aʺ does not. Regarding accessory setae, the iteral pair ( it) are absent; the adult forms proximal setae on each tarsus: v A ʹ on all, plus l A ʹ on tarsus I and v A ʺ on tarsus II.
