Description: English: FIGURE 4. Facets in the middle band: (a and b): in Odontodactylus; (c): in Hemisquilla (focusing slightly below the surface); (d and e): in Gonodactylus. In (e) notice the light patterns in the depth of the pseudopupil. These patterns can be seen in most stomatopod pseudopupils, but have different characteristic shapes and sizes in different species. In Gonodactylus they are particularly large and cloverleaf shaped. Date: June 1986. Source: Biological Bulletin Vol. 170, No. 3 (Jun., 1986). Author: Helga Schiff, Raymond B. Manning, Bernard C.
