the two above setae; lateral margin with 2 brown setae near the anterior- 

 angle seta; one of them setuliform; a brown strong seta and 2 small setae 

 near the dark spot of the margin of the lateral margin. A long seta and 

 2 small thin setae in the posterior third of the sclerite; several small setae 

 in the middle of each half; posterior seta dark, longer and thicker than the 

 others; a long reddish brown seta laterally; other surface setae thinner and 

 smaller. 



Propleuron very large, as in all Polycentropodinae, mainly yellow; 

 trochantin and its hornlike process brownish; pleural suture and adjacent 

 part of distal margin of epimeron blackish brown. Trochantin situated at 

 the apex of a process with a small membranous sucker-shaped process with 

 2 light setules at the base; seta at base of trochantin brownish and thin; 

 small seta of epimeron situated near the suture. 



Meso- (Figure 627) and metathorax broader than prothorax; both 

 segments of about the same size. Pale pattern on dorsum of segments 

 consisting of 2 longitudinal white stripes and a coarse white spot lateral to 

 them; several small white dots more medially. Anterior-margin setae of 

 both segments situated near the margin of the white stripes shorter on the 

 metathorax than on the mesothorax; anterior -angle setae thin, almost as 

 long as the segment; medioanal setae similar, situated in the posterior third 

 of the sclerite, near the white stripes; a small intermediate seta and a 

 small lateral seta near them; Meso- and metapleuron forming a yellow, 

 long plate with a narrow dark groove, with a dark distal margin, which 

 belongs to the episternum, which is fused with the trochantin (it occupies 

 the greater part of the pleuron); epimeron small, yellowish; seta of epimeron 

 situated on a membrane near the margin; seta of episternum situated in the 

 angle between the pleural suture and the dark distal margin. 



Forelegs shorter than the other legs; hind legs slightly longer than 

 midlegs; legs yellow; dots on legs indistinct. 



Coxa of forelegs with a distodorsal indentation which reaches the middle 

 of the segment; most setae brown or dark brown; basoanterior dorsal 

 seta long; apical seta at margin of indentation spinelike and thick; postero- 

 dorsal seta thin, longer than the other two, situated in the middle of the 

 margin of the distodorsal indentation; a thick spinelike seta situated nearby, 

 on the anterior surface; this seta resembles the distodorsal seta; 2 small 

 setae near this seta; numerous short setae on the posterior surface and a 

 row of spinelike setae among them; dark posterior distoventral seta twice 

 as long as anterior seta; a few strong secondary setae on the ventral 

 surface, at the margin anteriorly and posteriorly. 



Posterior seta of trochanter dark, long, situated subapically; anterior 

 seta short, strong, dark, situated near the apical margin; ventral setae thin, 

 light, numerous; the thin subapical posterior seta of the 5 primary setae 

 stands out by its length; it is the longest seta of the segment; distoventral 

 seta also long. 



Ventral surface of femur straight in profile, smooth; dorsal surface 

 slightly convex. Primary dorsal setae thin, dark; basal seta much longer 

 than the slightly posteriorly displaced distodorsal seta; secondary dorsal 

 setae absent; anterior surface with a row of short secondary setae in the 

 middle, which are mainly strong and dark; this row contains subapically a 

 thick primary anterior seta forming a strong, long, blackish brown spine;
