| Notommata tripus, dorsaloventral view, with everted auricles. Focus plane on the red eyespot in front of the RCO and the typical finger-like dorsal appendage (arrow). Another species with an such an appendage is Proales fallaciosa. Faintly visible are the sensory cilia of the lateral antennas (arrowheads). (2) |

 |
| Notommata tripus, same specimen, dorsal view, focus plane on the sensory cilia of the dorsal antennas (arrows). The arrowheads point to two structures which are likely the exits of the ducts of the retrocerebral organ (RCO). (2) |

| Notommata tripus, also when macerated for trophi anlysis the two openings of the dorsal antennas are visible in the integument. (3) |
