On the sides of the eighth abdominal segment a pair of small 5-branched feathered tufts (fig. 11, e).
In the reptilian cortex, most ingrowing fibers run above the cortical plate in the zone where the receptive tufts of the apical dendrite branch extensively.
The surstyli are lateral and basal to the cerci, and also bear a tuft of long setae (fig. 5a-c).
In cases when a tuft of collaterals was present, with multiple branchings, "multiple" collaterals were described.
In some parts of the habitat the tufts were contiguous and in others were about two feet apart.
We also assume the gel to be incompressible, which is clearly not true for textile fibre tufts.
To do this very light tufts were attached to the surface.
In the morning they climbed the tallfloweringshoots to dry their wings and then descended to the tufts to feed.
