3.1.2 Labial palpus
The length and basal width of the mandibles of females were
significantly more developed than those of males, but there was no
significant difference in basal thickness. Figure 1 shows that the
length and width of the female labial palpus are different from those of
males. The basal segment 1 of the labial palpus is shorter, the terminal
segment is expanded and conical at the top, and the base of each segment
forms an articulated structure that is embedded within the terminal part
of the preceding segment, and it is flexible, soft and bendable (Table
2).
