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.
