5.D.5. Body Mass

Rev.1*

The body mass (µg) was calculated using double logarithm equations between body length and dry weight of each families. The equation used for each family was defined by Tanaka (1970) and Petersen (1975). The means of coefficients for each family shown in Tanaka (1970) and Petersen (1975) were used to estimate body mass:

log10 W = a + b log10 L

where W and L are body weight and body length of an adult individual, respectively; and a and b are the coefficients for each family. Only for Symphypleona, body mass was estimated starting from the thorax, excluding head length (L is thorax + abdomen length). Thorax + abdomen length was estimated using 0.738 of (thorax + abdomen)/body length ratio known from 53 species of Symphypleona (Ichisawa et al., 2015). The coefficients of equations of each family is shown in Table 1. The body mass data were rounded to one decimal place.
