The mesothorax is the middle of the three segments of the thorax of hexapods, and bears the second pair of legs. Its principal sclerites (exoskeletal plates)...

smaller ones both anteriorly and posteriorly. In Phyllium siccifolium, the mesopleurae widen significantly along their entire length and exhibit five prominent...

triangular line on lower basal half of proplevirae, a large spot on base of mesopleurae, the top bluntly rounded, thence becoming, on the apical side, gradually...

species is very similar to Tisamenus serratorius. In Tisamenus asper the mesopleurae are thorny. On the first segments of the abdomen there are small round...

with the median one set somewhat forward of the lateral ones. Pro-and mesopleurae smooth and polished; metapleura and sides of propodeum rugose, with several...

tubercles are visible here. Furthermore, the supracoxal spines of the mesopleurae and metapleurae are developed as short, conical tubercles rather than...

significantly shorter, conical and more tuberous than spiny supracoxalia of the mesopleurae and metapleurae, which are more spiny in Tisamenus polillo. Terga one...

oblique, oval spot on presutural callus. An elongated spot is on the mesopleurae along the mesopleural suture. Below it is an oval oblique yellowish spot...

keeled and shows paired, convergent keels in the posterior third. The mesopleurae and metapleurae are slightly expanded posteriorly. The tergites of the...

longitudinal ridges on the head, petiole and postpetiole, while the mesopleurae and epinotum have transverse ridges. In contrast the gaster, pronotum...
