title: Table 4 in Two new species of the genus Milnesium Doyere, 1840 (Tardigrada, Apochela, Milnesiidae) from Madagascar

description: Table 4. Measurements and pt values of selected morphological structures of adult females of Milnesium matheusi sp. nov. mounted in Hoyer’s medium (N - number of specimens/structures measured, RANGE refers to the smallest and the largest structure among all measured specimens; SD - standard deviation, pt - ratio of the length of a given structure to the length of the buccal tube expressed as a percentage).
