subdivided (into dv^ and dvs as in Telea), from the scutum 

 posterior to dv^, to the ventrolateral portion of the meron. 

 Flanks dh anterior to the tympanic air sac. This is the most 

 lateral of the three muscles described by Eggers. 



Pleurodorsal muscles 



pdi This muscle, as well as pd^ and pd^, appears to be absent in 



the metathorax, as in Telea. 



pd2a Plates 7, 15. A stout, rectangular band from the pleural wing 



process to the tendon of pdzc, inserting on this tendon, ap- 

 proximately at right angles to it, and on the 3d axillary 

 sclerite. 



pdab Plates 6, 7, 12, 14, 15. A thick band from the dorsolateral 

 portion of the episternum just ventral to the basalare, to 

 the 3d axillary sclerite. 



pd2c Plates 6, 7, 14, 15. A thin fan, converging from the ventral 



border of the episternum, from the pleural ridge, and from 

 the tendinous lateral insertion of pv^ to a tendon inserting 

 (with pd^a) on the 3d axillary sclerite. 



pdg Plates 7, 14, A thin, broad fan converging from the ven- 



tral margin of the episternum to a tendon inserting on the 

 ventral margin of the ist axillary sclerite, and (in some 

 specimens at least) with one or a few fibers going to the 

 3d axillary sclerite near its articulation with the posterior 

 notal process. 



Pleuroventral muscles 



pvi Plates 6, 7, 13, 14. A thin, narrow band converging from a 



groove in the prepectus to a tendon inserting on the ventro- 

 medial margin of the basalare. 



pv2 Plates 6, 7, 13. A thick band from the dorsal surface of the 



basicosta to the anterior margin of the basalare, inserting 

 with and just anterior to the basalar fibers of pv^. 



pva Plates 7, 12, 13. A thin bundle from the basalare to the 



median (depressor) tendon of the trochanter, joining dv^. 



pv4(5) Plates 6, 14, 15, 16. A broad, thick muscle, not obviously 

 subdivided (as pv^ and pv^ in Telea) from the ventral por- 

 tion of the meron to the subalare. 



pve Plates 8, 14. A thin fan converging from the episternum 



anterior to the pleural ridge to the anterodorsal margin 

 of the coxa.
