 The position of the ganglion (.) with the cerebral lobes (c.l.} is shown by 

 means of the dotted outline. 



e.g. Central visceral ganglion, pv.g. Proventricular or posterior ganglion.

FIG. 23. Nervous system of the mature larva. The dorsal accessory 

 nerves are shown by single black lines, and the outline of the pharyngeal mass 

 is indicated by the dotted line.
