(1) Offspring from each female were measured from the rostrum to the end of the last large coxa .(2) The leg of the latter has few segments: coxa , basis, and perhaps four endopod segments.(3) These are the trochanter, which acts as a swivel joint for the leg, and the coxa , which anchors the leg to the body.(4) This allows the attachment of powerful muscles that might have provided the coxae with a strong rolling ability.(5) Burke interpreted the ventral sclerite as being solely comprised of the sternite fused with the coxae .(6) I assume that in lichids the coxae were spinose, and that their movements carried food particles forward along the midline.(7) The space between the inguinal ligament and the coxal bone is divided by the iliopectineal arch.(8) Conversely, coxal glands of many chelicerates have substantial similarities with this organ.(9) Such particles were further comminuted between the coxal spines and ridges.(10) The acetabulum is a hemispherical socket formed in the os coxae of a newborn.(11) First the skin tears under the carapace just above the coxae of the legs.(12) The hip bone or os coxae is not subject to great variation.(13) Each coxal bone forms with the fusion of three bones.(14) The sacrum, coccyx, and the two coxal bones form the pelvis.
