A segments are opened up 180° along the axis marked X, the upper half of the illustration shows the ventral side of segments VIII and IX in dorsal view, the lower half of the illustration shows the dorsal wall of the ventral fold vf7 and genital fold in ventral view B segments VIII and IX in lateral view C dorsal side of segments VIII and IX in dorsal view. Dotted lines indicate regions of membrane, connective tissues, and musculature.
