Title

Scanning electron microscopy of the gonopods of the milliped, Eurymerodesmus dubius (Diplopoda: Polydesmida: Xystodesmidae)

Abstract

Information on the gonopods of the polydesmid milliped, Eurymerodesmus dubius, have been described previously using light microscopy; however, nothing is known concerning their ultrastructural detail. The gonopods and gonopodal aperture of an adult male E. dubius collected in April 2011 from Beaver’s Bend State Park, McCurtain County, Oklahoma, was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Compared to previous information from descriptions and line drawings, the morphology of the gonopods and gonopodal aperture of E. dubius via SEM is quite similar but the finer detail observed herein adds to earlier works. Here, for the first time, we provide new ultrastructural data on the gonopods of E. dubius.
