caption_attribution_description: English: Anamorphic development in the millipede Nemasoma varicorne. The post-embryonic developmental stadia are numbered progressively. Walking legs are depicted as short lines, ventrally attached to the corresponding trunk ring, gonopod primordia as small ventral blobs on trunk ring VII, gonopods (two pairs) as complex structures also attached to trunk ring VII.
context_page_description: Anamorphosis or Anamorphogenesis refers to postembryonic development and moulting in Arthropoda that results in the addition of abdominal body segments, even after sexual maturity. An example of this occurs in proturans and millipedes.
  Protura hatch with only 8 abdominal segments and add the remaining 3 in subsequent moults. These new segments arise behind the last abdominal segment, but in front of the telson.
  Anamorphosis has been depicted various times throughout early modern literature
  In myriapods, euanamorphosis is when the addition of new segments continues during each moult, without there being a fixed number of segments for the adult, teloanamorphosis is when the moulting ceases once the adult has reached a fixed number of segments, and hemianamorphosis is when a fixed number of segments is reached, after which moulting continues with segments only growing in size, not number.
