 the posterior tergal setae of the mesothorax and metathorax 

 and first five abdominal segments straight and of about the 

 same length as the anterior tergal setae, those of the sixth and 

 seventh abdominal segments similar in outline but consisting

 the seventh abdominal segment with about four extra setae on 

 the front margin near the middle; the supraspiracular setae of 

 the first five abdominal segments small and coalesced with the
