The thorax is the midsection of the insect body. It holds the head, legs, wings and abdomen. It is also called mesosoma in other arthropods. It is formed by the prothorax, mesothorax and metathorax and comprises the scutellum; the cervix, a membrane that separates the head from the thorax; and the pleuron, a lateral sclerite of the thorax.
âAlthough remains of the cephalothorax, abdomen, and telson are preserved, none of the specimens is articulated.â âThe body is divided into a front part - the cephalothorax or prosoma, and a rear part, the abdomen or opisthosoma.â âThe head and thorax are fused into a cephalothorax and may be difficult to distinguish.â âThe cephalothorax of spiders is a sclerotized body part that does not change after the final molt.â âThe material referred to this taxon consists of one inflated and one crushed mold of the interior of the dorsal carapace and several fragmentary specimens of the cephalothorax.â
