Table 2 in New species of Philopterus Nitzsch, 1818 (Ischnocera: Philopteridae), with notes on Cypseloecus Conci, 1941

Table 2. Thoracic and abdominal chaetotaxy of the species of Philopterus Nitzsch, 1818 described in this paper. Only tergal seta are included here; for sternal setae, see Table 3; for pleural setae, see Table 4. Anterior margin of tergopleurite II has 1 seta on each side in all species, which is not listed in the table. Numbers denote the numbers of setae on one side of the abdomen only; for setal counts in the entire setal row of each segment, these numbers thus need to be doubled. Abbreviation: mms = marginal mesometathoracic setae.

1 7–8 in one examined female, 10 in the other.
2 In addition, there is 1 seta on each side at the anterior end of this segment.
3 One male with 8 setae on one side of these segments.
4 Setal rows of these segments have significant gaps, indicating that 1–2 setae may be absent in the single examined male, but present if more males were examined. These numbers are thus preliminary.
