Excerpt from Observations on the Pedipalpi of North America In the Phrynidae posterior to the maxillae is a corneous styloid process - we think that this represents the ligula, although apparently articulated to the sternum. For the mentum is probably in this family coalesced with, and forming the anterior por tion of the sternum. In the Scorpionidas two large processes Spring from the base of the anterior pair of feet.
