situated subapically, short, light and thin; anterior seta curved; second 

 situated further basally and straight, thinner and smaller on the forelegs 

 than on midlegs and hind legs; seta on the anterior surface light; seta on 

 the posterior surface brownish and curved; both setae short and thin;, 

 distoventral setae spinelike, brown; anterior seta shorter than the posterior 

 seta. 



Both dorsal setae of tarsus light, curved, situated at the sides of the claw; 

 distoventral setae small, indistinct; near them are several even smaller 

 spinules. Claw large, brown, almost as long as the tarsus; basal seta 

 forms a blunt, thick spine. 



Abdominal segment 1 resembles the meso- and metathorax in form; its 

 dorsum stands in relief and is divided by a transverse groove into an anterior 

 and posterior part; two tubercles at the sides of the anterior part; one 

 tubercle at the sides of the posterior part; dorsum of anterior part with a 

 pattern of light spots; two transverse folds in the posterior part. The 

 abdomen becomes broader from the 2nd to the 7th segment; segment 8 

 slightly narrower than 7; anterior part of the dorsum with a pattern of light 

 stripes and dots, posterior part with three narrow, transverse folds; sides 

 of the segments with 2 processes, one in the anterior and one in the 

 posterior part; they are fused in their greater part, forming a single 

 process with a double apex; the bifid appearance becomes indistinct on 

 segments 6—7; the process is not bifid on segment 8; segment 9 without 

 process; dorsum of segments 6—8 with a narrow median stripe the sides 

 of which are covered with small tubercles, 4 on each segment: one in the 

 anterior part and one on each of the 3 transverse folds of the posterior 

 part; these tubercles are larger on segment 8 than on the other segments. 

 Abdominal setae dark and short. Anterior-margin seta on segments 1 — 8 

 small and strong; anterior -angle seta thin, small, situated between 2 

 tubercles on segment 1 (Figure 324); situated slightly median to the lateral 

 tubercle on the other segments; slightly displaced posteriorly on segment 8, 

 closer to the anal setae; medioanal seta curved inward and situated on a fold 

 of the posterior part; intermediate and lateral seta situated close together 

 and situated at a distance from the medioanal seta, near the base of the 

 lateral tubercle. Pleural setae 3 in number (2 primary and 1 secondary), 

 situated at the apex of the tubercle of the anterior part; primary setae 

 situated one behind the other; a secondary seta situated nearby and thinner; 

 segment 8 with 2 relatively large pleural setae. Ventral setae of segment 1 

 291 small, strong, dark, situated on sclerotized dots in the anterior part of the 

 segment; median and lateral setae situated near the anterior margin; 

 intermediate seta situated posterior to them, closer to the median seta; 

 arrangement of setae similar on segments 2—3, but the distance between 

 them is greater; lateral seta displaced laterally, to the margin of the 

 anterior tubercle, situated more ventrally and posterior to the pleural 

 setae; intermediate seta displaced farther posteriorly; lateral seta on 

 segment 4 situated posterior to the pleural setae, at the boundary between 

 the anterior and posterior fused tubercles; it is displaced on segments 5—7 

 to the posterior part of the tubercle; all 3 ventral setae on segment 8 larger 

 than on the preceding segments, thick, situated on small brown disks; lateral 

 seta situated on a tubercle posterior to the pleural setae.
