Table 3. Measurements [in µm] of selected morphological structures of mature females of Bryodelphax australasiaticus sp. nov. mounted in Hoyer's medium (N - number of specimens/structures measured, Range refers to the smallest and the largest structure amongst all measured specimens; SD - standard deviation; sp - the ratio of the length of a given structure to the length of the scapular plate expressed as a percentage).
