Fig. 11

Comparison of musculature and nervous system arrangement between aberrant and non-aberrant kinorhynchs in respect to the external trunk segmentation. All illustrations represent the anterior seven trunk segments in ventral view. Icons on the top left corner of (A–C) represent segmental match or mismatch of musculature and nervous system elements in respect to the external segments (see legend for colours). A Aligned musculature and nervous system in respect to the external segmentation in non-aberrant kinorhynchs. B Aligned nervous system and misaligned musculature in respect to the external segmentation in C. styx and F. kalenesos. C Misaligned musculature and nervous system in respect to the external segmentation in Zelinkaderes species
