Fig. 1

Geometrical landmarks of C. megacephala cephalopharyngeal skeleton in three different instars. a First instar. b Second instar. c Third instar (bar = 0.5 mm). The landmark consist of 1 clipeal arc (anterodorsal process/dorsal bridge), 2 dorsal cornu, 3 concavity of pharyngeal sclerite (tentorial phragma/medial incision), 4 lower ventral cornu, and 5 base of parastomal bar (Nuñez and Liria 2016) (scale bar = 0.5 mm)
