FIGURE 3. (J–R) Scanning electron micrographs of
Hornellobothrium iotakotta n. sp. (J) Scolex and laterally expanded immature proglottids (i.e., hood); small letters indicate location of details shown in
P–R. (K) Scolex; small letters indicate location of details shown in L–O. (L) Distal bothridial surface with papilliform to acicular filitriches. (M)
Proximal bothridial surface with narrow gladiate spinitriches and capilliform filitriches. (N) Scolex proper anterior to bothridia with acicular filitriches.
(O) Scolex proper posterior to bothridia with gladiate spinitriches and acicular filitriches. (P) Laterally expanded immature proglottids (i.e. hood) with
small acicular filitriches and larger scolopate spinitriches along posterior proglottid margin. (Q) Posterior proglottid margin with larger scolopate
spinitriches. (R) Proglottid surface with capilliform filitriches.
