Pronotum (Figure 642) yellow, with reddish brown posterior margin; 

 stripe of posterior-angle process and spot at lateral margin reddish brown; 

 anterior part of lateral margin narrow, reddish brown, not reaching angle of 

 sclerite. Punctate pattern pale; 2 dots near the median suture in the 

 posterior half; a wide bracket -shaped row of dots laterally; a group of 

 2 or 3 dots and 2 dots further anteriorly, medially to this row. 



Anterior -angle seta short, dark brown, strong; a thin seta near it; lateral 

 margin with 2 light setae posteriorly, posterior seta very small. Anterior 

 margin with 3 long setae, the longest of them situated near the anterior-angle 

 seta; second seta similar, situated in the middle of each half of the segment; 

 third seta situated at a distance from the median suture and much shorter; 

 anterior margin also with 9—11 short or very short setae. Surface of 

 sclerite with long, relatively thick medioanal seta in the group of dots; 

 a short, thin seta anterior to this seta, a small setuliform seta laterally; 

 a moderately long seta and 2 short thin setae among the dots of the bracket- 

 shaped row of dots; a large, blackish brown seta near the dark spot at the 

 lateral margin; 2 small, thin setae anterior to it, one seta posterior to it. 



Propleuron mainly yellow; pleural suture dark brown. Episternum 

 brown basally, with 3 large, dark spots, with a narrow brown stripe apically, 

 like the epimeron; trochantin brownish, with a dark, thin basal seta and 

 2 light setules on the membranous apex; epimeral seta dark, situated near 

 the middle of the pleural suture; ventral process of epimeron blunt. 



Meso- and metathorax broader and longer than prothorax; dorsum with 

 a pattern of 2 longitudinal, thin, white, narrow stripes with a transverse 

 median branch posteriorly; white dashes and dots between the stripes. 

 Anterior-margin setae small, shorter on metanotum than on mesonotum; 

 anterior -angle and medioanal setae relatively long, dark, longer than setae 

 of pronotum and seta 9 of head; intermediate and lateral setae small, thin, 

 light; intermediate seta slightly shorter than lateral seta. 



Mesopleuron slightly broader than metapleuron; both sclerites yellow, 

 smoke brown in some places, with a narrow blackish brown stripe on the 

 pleural suture and a broad, dark border at the distal margin; both setae 

 small, brownish; one of them situated near margin of epimeron, the second 

 on the ridge of the anterior margin of the episternum, near the articular 

 process. 



Legs light yellow, with reddish brown apical margin of the segments; 

 a few large, smoke brown or blackish, large spots near basal margin of 

 coxae and on dorsal side of femur and tibia. 

 445 Posterodorsal seta of fore coxa thin, one of the longest setae of the 

 segment; anterior basodorsal seta shorter, thin, straight and strong 

 (Figure 643); the primary seta of the 3 strong setae situated near the 

 anterior margin of the distodorsal indentation, longer than the other two; 

 6 or 7 small setae on the anterior surface; posterior surface with 4 setae; 

 2 basal setae are thicker than the others; 6 secondary setae ventrally; 

 one of them longer and thicker than the others; distoventral primary setae 

 strong, straight; posterior distoventral seta more than twice as long as 

 anterior seta. 



Setae of trochanter numerous; posterior seta strong, long; apical and 

 subapical ventral setae longer than the others. 



Distodorsal seta of femur longer than the others; basodorsal seta thin 

 and long; a longitudinal, middle group of thin setae on the anterior surface
