Telson

The Telson ( from Ancient Greek τέλσον - border, often referred to in older literature as pygidium ) is the last, carrying the body after section of arthropods ( arthropods ). It's how the Acron ( the first body portion ) no actual segment because of him repeating internal structure of these structures is lacking, and thus corresponds to the pygidium of annelids ( Annelida ). The Telson can merge with the distant past segments, as in Pleotelson the isopods ( Isopoda ) or the pygidium of trilobites.
