  1. When differences in size occur, closely set tubules/spines are marked with i = inner and o = outer, where “inner” means closest to the midventral line and “outer” means closest to the lateral side. The notations (f) = female and (m) = male refer to the specific gender when sexual dimorphism occurs
  2. LTAS Lateral terminal accessory spine; LTS lateral terminal spine; LV lateroventral; MD middorsal; MTS midterminal spine; SD subdorsal; VM ventromedial
