|
| 6. | Just before entering the chelicera, the duct enlarges to a muscle-invested ampulla and then constricts again.
|
| 7. | In the accompanying photograph of a male solifugid, one flagellum is just visible near the tip of each chelicera.
|
| 8. | The glands are connected to a small duct through which the venom is discharged via its fang-like chelicera.
|
| 9. | This kind of chelicera occurs in the Liphistiomorphae and Mygalomorphae spiders and in the related orders Amblypygi, Schizomida, Thelyphonida.
