Fig. 6

Mandibular muscles of E. scrobiculatus females and E. brandti females. Pictures a and b are three-dimensional reconstruction of the mandibular muscles of two kinds of weevils. a Mandibular muscles of E. scrobiculatus females, the red part represents the abductor muscles, the yellow part represents the adductor muscles; b Mandibular muscles of E. brandti females, the red part represents the abductor muscles, the yellow part represents the adductor muscles. The picture c is the volume ratio of mandibular muscles of E. scrobiculatus females (ESC F) and E. brandti females (EBR F), AD is the adductor muscle, AB is the abductor muscle
