GLOSSARY OF TERMS

The glossary of terms is currently incomplete. More terms will be added below as more taxon accounts are made.

Pauropoda:

• anal plate: a lamellaceous organ projecting from the rear margin of either the pygidium sternum or tergum

• a setae (head): tergal setae of the head arranged in 4 transverse rows of, from anteriorly to posteriorly, 4, 6, 4, and 8 setae.

• a setae (pygidium): posterior group of setae of the pygidium tergum

• a1 setae: medial pair of setae of the pygidial a group

• a2 setae: positionally intermediate pair of setae of the pygidial a group

• a3 setae: lateral pair of setae of the pygidial a group

• bract: spine like projections along the rim of the globulus 

• b setae: setae of the pigidium sternum

• b1 setae: posteromedial pair of setae of the pygidial b group

• b2 setae: lateromost pair of setae of the pygidial b group

• b3 setae: anteromedial pair of setae of the pygidial b group

• calyx: differentiated terminal segment of an antennal flagellum

• capsule: ovoid organ at the tip of the globulus

• collum: first trunk segment

• d setae: anterior group of setae of the pygidium tergum

• d1 setae: medial pair of setae of the d group

• d2 setae: lateral pair of setae of the d group

• flagellum: segmented apical filament of the antennae

• globulus: cup or chalice shaped sensory organ on sternal antennal branch

• globulus': reductive organ similar to the globulus on third antennal segment

• pistil: internal organ of the temporal organ extending from the posterior surface

• pygidium: terminal body segment

• temporal organ: large sac like organ on either side of the head

• trichobothria: long differentiated sensory setae paired on either side of a trunk segment

• trunk: main body, encompassing all segments in between the head and pygidium

• st setae: pair of apical median setae of the pygidium tergum, often heavily modified
