Fig. S1
Camera-lucida drawings by Reinhard Rieger of a specimen of Bradynectes ensifer n. sp. (designated with the helping-name “säbel”) collected in Bogue Inlet NC, USA, dated June 16, 1974. Note that the printed lettering was added by us, that we tried to capture and translate as much of the German notes as possible, and that the circled numbers indicate the objective used. A. Dorsal view (40x), showing cement glands (cg), male gonopore (gp), male system: male antrum (am) with proximal fine-granular secretion (ag), stylet (st), prostatic vesicle (pv), intervesicular duct (id), and seminal vesicle (sv); one caudal sensory organ (cso) is also shown. All other drawings are 100x. B. Sperm (possibly not fully mature?); C. pharyngeal gland secretions; D. Rhabdites; E. Caudal sensory organ (see Rieger & Tyler 1974, p. 163); F. Cement-gland granules; G. Stylet and prostatic vesicle; and ?. gland granules possibly located around the mouth or male opening. The length of the scale bar probably represents 50µm, and not 40µm
