I notice that although this article mentions that prosoma and episthosoma are the more accurate terms to use for the body parts of arachnids, since there is no evidence of the prosoma actually being the result of a head and thorax fusing together and each has different organs and structures than are generally associated with a head, thorax, and abdomen, it still frequently uses the words cephalothorax and abdomen. It seems like it should be edited to only use the more accurate terms after the point that they are introduced. 50.225.46.187 (talk) 18:27, 28 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
An interesting point. The terms cephalothorax and abdomen seem to me to be more appropriate in most of the text, given that this is a general encyclopedia, because they are more likely to be understood and used in other articles. Peter coxhead (talk) 07:48, 29 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
