Pleurites of meso- and metathorax in form of large, reddish brown 

 sclerites, divided by the black, distally widened pleural suture into the 

 smaller episternum and the larger epimeron; dark dots basally, on both 

 sides along the suture; epimeron distally with short black margin near 

 end of suture; episternum with small black projection of the suture, 

 separated by a small membranous or slightly sclerotized area from the 

 black margin of the trochantin; seta of trochantin situated on the bar, 

 small setae at the margin; seta of epimeron situated near posterior margin. 



Prothoracic sternite (Figure 7) in form of small triangular brown 

 sclerite with a narrow anterior median process. Horn-shaped process 

 short, white, with harder, yellowish end. 



Forelegs (Figure 8, A, B) slightly longer than midlegs; ratio of length 

 of legs 104:100:140. Legs yellowish brown, dots dark, setae reddish 

 brown or yellowish. 



Fore coxae oblong, slightly longer dorsally than the other segments, 

 with numerous dark brown dots posteriorly; distodorsal indentation reaching 

 middle of coxa; basodorsal groove with black margin. Setae reddish brown, 

 all primary. Basodorsal anterior seta long, distodorsal anterior seta slightly 

 thicker, posterior dorsal seta situated near middle of indentation, longer and 

 thinner than basodorsal seta; both anterior setae relatively large; 

 distoventral setae short, thin, of about the same length. Small, dense 

 scale -shaped chaetoids with combs of light, sharp spinules at the base 

 (Figure 8, C); larger and more numerous chaetoids ventrally and 

 subventrally; bundles of microscopic, sharp chaetoids present in addition 

 to large chaetoids. 



Posterior primary seta of trochanter short, dark brown, thin, situated 

 subdorsally; anterior seta small, thicker than the posterior seta; distal 

 seta of the 3 anterior ventral setae small, light, spiniform, situated apically, 

 middle seta slightly larger, also light, basal seta long, thick; posterior 

 apical seta similar, second ventral posterior seta shorter. A row of light, 

 slightly rounded spines curved toward the distal side situated ventrally 

 anterior to the ventral setae. 



Femur convex dorsally, with a longitudinal row of large, dark, brown 

 dots. Short basodorsal seta strong, apical, dorsal seta thin, brownish, 

 slightly longer; anterior seta large, thick, dark brown, situated subventrally; 

 posterior seta small, lighter, subdorsal; ventral comb in basal half formed 

 22 by light chaetoids as on the trochanter, but here the chaetoids are straight 

 and stronger; minute, blunt spinules anteriorly near chaetoids. 



Tibia wider at the apex, with ventral process; large dark dots on the 

 dorsal margin. Both dorsal primary setae situated subapically, yellowish, 

 thin, posterior seta long, anterior seta short. A strong large, brown 

 surface seta, and a thin, light, long, posterior seta laterally near the dorsal 

 setae; ventral setae short, thick, spiniform, one of them situated distally 

 on a process, the other slightly anterior to the basal seta. 



Tarsus much shorter than tibia; anterior dorsal seta small, thin, 

 posterior seta much larger and slightly thicker, both situated subapically, 

 ventral setae situated laterally, subventrally, short, strong. Claw slightly 

 curved, with a massive, blunt, basal spine.
