The external morphology of the dwarf males of Lithoglyptes mitis, Lithoglyptes bicornis, Kochlorine hamata, Kochlorine sp., Cryptophialus hoegi, Cryptophialus sp., and Trypetesa lampas was examined under SEM. New data on the cuticular structures are compared with existing information on acrothoracican and thoracican males. The structure of the male mantle differs among acrothoracican families and thus may have taxonomic value.
