Carbon replicas have now made it possible to learn how the scales fit together in the armour and in particular how the tail, in each species, is constructed. Direct electron micrographs in conjunction with Teplicas have given much additional information about the scales. Developmental stages of M. insignis have been noted. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-19-1-55
