The segment from the dorsal side is a narrow stripe and, furthermore, only slightly visible in the investigated species of the Nepinae (Figures 7(a) and 7(b), Laccotrephes japonensis); the open stylet groove is slightly visible, which is dorsally covered by the
epipharynx (labrum).
At digital investigation the lesion was of hard elastic consistence, with wide bottom, fixed to upper back wall of
epipharynx, bleeding.
In addition to inspecting the nasal cavities using a headlamp and nose speculum, we also inspected the auditory canals and eardrums, the mouth, the
epipharynx, and the larynx.
The
epipharynx is lightly to moderately sclerotized adjacent to a more heavily sclerotized trapezoidal labrum.
