situated among the spinules, the second posterior to them. Claw blunt, 

 curved, with convex basal process lateral to which are 2 setae; one of them 

 in form of a short, blunt spinule with rounded apex, the second transparent 

 and pointed. 



Midlegs slightly shorter than forelegs and much thinner; light yellow, 

 and without dots like the hind legs. Coxa relatively long, with a deep disto- 

 dorsal indentation, with narrow reddish brown margin; posterodorsal seta 

 long, brown, situated near the distal margin; both anterodorsal setae 

 situated basally as on the forelegs, short, light yellow; anterior surface 

 setae setuliform; distoventral setae of mid-coxa shorter than those of 

 forelegs; posterior seta yellowish, thin; anterior seta rudimentary, 

 setuliform. Suture of trochanter situated proximal to the middle; anterior 

 seta spinelike, light and long; posterior seta absent; ventroanterior setae, 

 basoventral and subapical setae thin; posterior distoventral seta light brown 

 and long. 



Distodorsal seta of femur strong, brown and long; second dorsal seta 

 situated proximal to the middle, light and strong; anterior seta of femur 

 short, situated subapically; posterior seta longer and nearer to apex; 

 ventral margin of femur even shorter than on the forelegs; both ventral 

 setae situated distally, close together, transparent and small. 



Basodorsal seta of tibia displaced to the middle and much shorter than 

 apical seta; the latter seta as long as the tibia; anterior seta brown, 

 projecting far subapically; posterior seta shorter, light, spinelike, situated 

 closer to the apex; unlike on the forelegs, both ventral setae are little 

 developed; posterior seta small and transparent; anterior seta even 

 smaller, visible only under high magnification. 



Dorsal seta of tarsus thin; subapical seta slightly longer and thinner than 

 apical seta; anteroventral seta spinelike, situated in about the middle of 

 the segment; posterior seta thin and situated ventrodistally; only small 

 spinules of the ventral comb present near the base of the claw. Claw with 

 blunt basal process. 



Hind legs of the same form but slightly thinner than midlegs, which are 

 especially distinct if the femora are compared. Setae similar; anterior and 

 distoventral setae of trochanter slightly thinner; distodorsal seta of femur 

 shorter. Claw more strongly curved. 



Ventral surface of abdomen flattened; dorsal surface convex, colored 

 like the dorsum of meso- and metathorax, but stripes and spots less sharply 

 marked. Only anterior -angle and medioanal setae well marked, thin and 

 light, shorter on the first abdominal segments than on meso- and metanotum; 

 medioanal seta of segment 8 moderately long and dark; anterior -angle seta 

 displaced to the middle of segment. 



Segment 9 with dark long medioanal seta; a thin light yellow, short 

 [intermediate?] seta near it; ventral seta thick, dark and spinelike. The 

 5 anal gills diverge from the anus like a fan in fixed specimens. 



Anal legs with a short section "a." Laterodorsal sclerite of section "b" 

 brownish (Figure 580), with reddish brown, broad basal margin; articular 

 rods reddish yellow. Two long thick dark brown setae above the rods; 

 between them, subapically a short dark projecting seta, as in Ti nodes. 

 Four or five setae arranged in a fan on the outer side; 2 of them situated 

 close to the dorsal setae and almost as thick and long as these; other 

 3 setae thinner and shorter; they become shorter toward the end of the row.
