We have followed Carpenter[210] in inserting the rostral segment. This
corresponds with the segment that in Insects and Crustacea bears the
antennae or first antennae respectively, the absence of these organs
being one of the characteristic but negative features of all Arachnids.
The evidence for the existence of this evanescent segment rests partly
upon the observation of von Jaworowski[211] on the vestigial feelers in
an embryo Spider, _Trochosa_, and perhaps more securely on the fact
that, according to Korschelt and Heider, there is a distinct neuromere
for this segment, between the proto-cerebral neuromere which supplies
the eyes and the trito-cerebral neuromere which supplies the chelicerae.
According to Brauer[212] the chelicerae of Scorpions are also supplied
by the third neuromere.
