title: Table 2 in A new species of rake-legged mite, Caeculus cassiopeiae (Prostigmata, Caeculidae), from Canada and a systematic analysis of its genus

description: Table 2. Character states of Caeculus species (females) used for morphological comparison and cladistic analysis. Row number aligns to column number in Table 1. A setal pair refers to two setae in symmetry on either side of the mid-sagittal plane. An excluded seta is denoted by “excl.” Size character is excluded from analysis.
