A simplesimple:
unadorned; simple setae are needle-like and without hairs or pectins.

in Mesostigmata, the three setae (postanal and pair of peranal) setae surrounding the anal opening.
(a pair of paranal setaeparanal setae:
(also adanal setae) the pair of seta inserted laterad the anal opening in the Mesostigmata; usually designated pa or PAR; the anterior (= h3) and posterior (= h2) para-anals in the Pritchard & Baker System.

the unpaired median seta inserted posterior to the anal opening in the Mesostigmata; usually designated po or POS.

in Mesostigmata, a ventral shield bearing the anal opening, circum anal setae, and one or more pairs of ventral setae or pores (lyrifissures) [see anal shield]; maybe rather narrow or very broad and covering most of the gaster. bearing a pair of ventral setaeventral setae:
in the Lindquist-Evans system used in the Mesostigmata, the ventral region has up to three longitudinal rows (Jv, Zv, Lv) with 1-5 transverse row designations.
