  comb- 
  

   like 
  series 
  of 
  hair-hke

  the 
  whole

  surface 
  being 
  occupied 
  by 
  a 
  row 
  

   of 
  wider 
  spaced, 
  more 
  irregular 
  bristles, 
  and 
  at 
  apex 
  armed 
  much 
  as 
  

   in 
  pusio, 
  with 
  6-7 
  long 
  bristles. 
  In 
  trimaculata 
  the 
  antero-ventral 
  

   surface 
  of 
  femur 
  is 
  bare 
  except 
  for 
  the 
  series 
  on 
  the 
  middle 
  and 
  one 
  

   much 
  stronger 
  bristle 
  at 
  near 
  the 
  apex.
