are of the normal pectinated harmothoid kind; the superior ventral bristles (Fig. 14, c) 

 are long and slender with two alternating rows of teeth, and the inferior ventral bristles 

 (Fig. 14, d), more expanded towards the tip, appear quite smooth except under a very 

 high magnification. They are all unidentate. The absence of a second tooth in the 

 ventral bristles distinguishes this species from H. impar var. iiotialis.

Remarks. This species is recognisable by the dorsal bristles with hirsute tips. There 

 is a row of median dorsal pads running the whole length of the body. The elytra have 

 clavate tubercles with crenellated tops. The ventral chaetae are unidentate with two 

 short rows of teeth on the shaft.
