MUSCULAR SYSTEM OF THE Amblyomma americanum LARVAE (ACARI: IXODIDAE)

The muscular system of Amblyomma americanum larvae from the morphological and functional point of view is studied. The capitulum is moved by four muscles: two depressors and two levators. Chelicerae have three muscles: retractor, flexor and digit extensor. Each segment of the palp presents two muscl...
