FIGURE 41. Valva: dorsal processes closely adjacent to each other, fused or nearly so (0); separated (1). RC:0.464. Fig. 18 and 20. 42. Valva, when dorsal processes separated: dorsal processes extended to form a sclerotized bridge (i.e., dorsal bridge) (0), not extended to form a sclerotized bridge (1). RC:0.4. Fig. 6. The dorsal bridge described in 42:0 is likely not homologous to the ventral bridge described in character 48 (see Discussion).
