Crenubiotus crenulatus s.s. (Richters, 1904) from Spitsbergen: cuticular granulation seen in SEM. (a) Granulation on the external surface of leg III. (b) Granulation on the internal surface of leg III. (c) Granulation on leg IV. (d) The wide granulation band on the caudal cuticle and granulation on legs IV. (e) Sparse cuticular granulation and pores on the dorsal cuticle. (f) Sparse cuticular granulation and pores on the ventral cuticle. The filled flat arrow indicates the cuticular bulge/fold on the external leg surface, the empty flat arrowhead indicates the cuticular bulge/fold on the internal leg surface, the filled arrow indicates the wide granulation band on the caudal cuticle, empty arrows indicate the sparse cuticular granulation. Scale bars in μm.
