Forelegs (Figure 293) more massive, darker and slightly shorter than 

 midlegs and hind legs, dark brown; coxa short; distodorsal notch shallow; 

 anterodorsal margin dark and reddish brown, raised in a crest, with a 

 distal tubercle; a thick spinelike basodorsal seta, displaced from its normal 

 position at the apex of the process; near this seta slightly more ventrally 

 near the base of the tubercle, a short distodorsal anterior seta; postero- 

 dorsal seta relatively long, thin and yellowish; both anterior surface setae 

 small and dark; the posterior ventrodistal long, anterior seta short, both 

 yellowish and thin. Trochanter large, prolonged ventrally; posterior seta 

 thin and short, situated near dorsal margin; anterior seta dark, curved, 

 slightly longer than the posterior seta; the middle medioventral seta dark 

 and short; basal seta small, light and situated on the suture; distal seta 

 situated at the end of the trochanter, thin, light and long; both postero- 

 ventral setae light; one situated subapically, the second small seta in the 

 middle. Femur thick and short; its ventral margin short; distodorsal seta 



2 69 long and light brown; basal seta short and strong; posterior seta long and 

 thin, situated subapically; anterior seta small and spinelike, dark; unlike in 

 most species of Rhy ac op hi la, both ventral setae are situated distally, 

 close together: posterior seta situated on a sclerite, the anterior seta 

 situated ventrally, on a narrow membranous area, on a small sclerotized 

 dot. Tibia massive, longer ventrally than the femur; one dorsal seta 

 situated distally, brown and long, the other light, short and situated sub- 

 apically; posterior seta long and thin; anterior seta short, spinelike, 

 reddish brown; posterior distoventral seta in form of a short blunt spine; 

 anterior distoventral seta small and strong. Tarsus much shorter than 

 tibia; both distodorsal setae short, light brown and curved; posterior seta 

 larger than the anterior seta; the distoventral setae are small, spinelike 

 and brown. The basal seta of the claw forms a small, blunt, light spine. 

 Midlegs brown (Figures 294 and 295), much lighter than forelegs and 

 slightly darker than hind legs. Basodorsal anterior seta of coxa of both 

 pairs of legs short and thin; anterior distodorsal seta situated near the 

 margin of the notch, brown, straight and long; posterodorsal seta also 

 long, longer on the midlegs than on the forelegs, slightly shorter on 

 the hind legs; both anterior surface setae light brown, slightly longer than 

 on the forelegs; distoventral setas short and thin; posterior seta longer 

 than the anterior seta. 



Anterior seta of trochanter of midlegs and hind legs thick and chestnut 

 brown, long; posterior seta lighter and shorter; posterior subapical seta 

 of the 5 ventral setae longer; anterodistal seta also moderately long, 

 but not as long as on the forelegs. Femora of both pairs of legs of the 

 usual form, longer than the other segments and not sclerotized ventrally; 

 dorsodistal seta long; basodorsal seta short and strong, situated at a 

 distance from the basal margin; anterior and posterior setae situated 

 subapically, long; posteroventral seta situated on a sclerite, at about 



270 midlength of the segment, and long; anterior seta short and situated on a 

 membrane in the basal part of the femur. Tibiae of midlegs and hind legs 

 shorter than femora; posterior distodorsal seta brown and very long, 

 longer than on the femora; anterior seta light and short; posterior and 

 anterior setae resembling the distodorsal seta and long; ventral setae 

 situated subapically; short and strong; posterior seta brown, anterior
