 produced posteriorly, without median longitudinal sulci. Median and lateral 

 sulci beginning on the 3rd tergite, indistinct and distorted. Prosternum 

 in the middle shallowly depressed, without hairs (?). Sternites with cross- 

 sulci, last one shortly rounded posteriorly. Coxopleurae with some reddish 

 hairs posteriorly, also with 2 light inwardly-directed spinelets, with about 

 14 large pores scattered over the whole surface, but not reaching to the 

 hinder end. Legs with short dark-brown spines and long reddish-yellow

 Sternites strongly hairy, not punctured, cruciform sulci to 19th segment 

 (here indistinct), absent from 20th and 21st segments ; last sternite
