title: Table 7 in Two new species of the genus Milnesium Doyere, 1840 (Tardigrada, Apochela, Milnesiidae) from Madagascar

description: Table 7. Measurements and pt values of selected morphological structures of females of Milnesium wrightae 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).
