bears on the outer side a row of 7 to 10 bristles (inclusive of one placed close 

 to the apex), and on the inner side an oblique (or broken) row of 4 to 6, there 

 being also several small bristles at the anterior edge, apart from the thick 

 apical and subapical ones. The longest apical bristle of the hind tibia extends 

 to the subapical notch of the first hindtarsal segment, or a little beyond it. 

 The longest apical bristle of the second hindtarsal segment reaches nearly to 

 the middle of the fifth in the ? , while in the <? there are three apical and one 

 subapical bristles on the second segment which extend to near or beyond the 

 middle of the fifth segment, the third segment also bearing a long apical bristle 

 in the S . The fifth segment has in all the tarsi five pairs of lateral bristles

small hairs above the stigma, and is characterised by 16 to 18 strong bristles, 



of which 8 to 10 are grouped together on the side of the segment as shown in 



the figure. The eighth sternite is not very much smaller than the tergite. It
