dorsum -- the dorsal or upper surface; opposite of venter. 



elytra (plural of elytron) -- the leathery or sclerotized anterior wings 

 which, at rest, cover the hind or flight wings, meeting in a straight 

 line down the middle of the dorsum. 



elytral interval -- the region between two adjacent elytral striae; the 

 intervals are counted from the center, the first being the sutural interval 

 (Fig.l) or that between the midline and the first stria. 



elytral suture -- the mid-dorsal line where the elytra meet in repose. 



emarginate -- notched, indented, hollowed out, curved inward. 



epipleuron -- the deflexed or bent-under portion of the elytron just be- 

 low the edge (Figs 2-4) . 



exserted ooxa -- a protruding coxa; one that juts outward. 



femur (plural, femora) -- that segment of the leg between the trochanter 

 and the tibia (Fig. 2), sometimes the only part of the leg visible from 

 above . 



filiform -- thread-like; slender and of equal diameter; the joints of a 

 filiform antenna are relatively uniform and shaped like elongate beads. 



flabellate -- fan-shaped (Fig. 118). 



fovea -- a pit or deep depression. 



fuscous -- dark brown; reddish black. 



genitalia -- the genital organs collectively (Figs 10, 11) . 



glabrous -- smooth and bare. 



gulajc suture -- line of division between the gula (Fig. 7) and the gena 

 lateral to it. 



hemistemite -- basal portion (coxite) of female genitalia (Fig. 11), 

 sometimes adapted for oviposition. 



humerus -- the basal exterior angle of the elytron (Figs 1, 2). 



hydrofuge pubesaenae -- tomentum; water-repellent fuzz. 



hypomeron -- the deflexed or bent-under portion of the pronotum beneath 

 the lateral margin or edge (Figs 2, 3); elytral hypomeron = epipleuron. 



immaculate -- without spots or blotches.
