palp small, thick, with short segments, third segment slightly longer than 

 the others. Mentum short, dark brown. Ventral sclerites in form of thin 

 brown rods; seta yellowish, near distal margin. Sclerite of palpiger in form 

 of a thin, curved stripe covering the base of the small labial palp with its 

 brownish sclerite. 



Thoracic tergites reddish brown. Pronotum (Figure 109) with narrow 

 anterior margin and part of lateral margin; posterior margin black laterally, 

 yellowish brown in the middle; process on posterior angle wide, round; 

 groove in anterior third slightly dark in middle; an indistinct dark stripe 

 along median suture, which is wider posteriorly, with X-shaped pattern of 

 light dots. Anterior -angle and medioanal setae larger than others; in 

 addition to the short and long setae, dense, small, spine -shaped setae 

 on surface. 



Mesonotum (Figure 109) with narrow, anterior margin; posterior 

 margin dark; posterior angle and a small area of lateral margin broadly 

 black. Tergites of metanotum large; anterior -median sclerites situated 

 on a light, slightly sclerotized, elliptical area; lateral sclerites oblong, 

 with an oblique transverse black stripe; setae situated in anterior part 

 of sclerite, dots in middle and posteriorly; setae as in Figure 109. 



Pleurite of prothorax in form of a narrow sclerite; pleural suture 

 black; epimeron lobe-shaped, with a small seta; episternum brownish; 

 trochantin small, black, blunt, with a small subapical seta and a smaller, 

 light setule. Sclerites of meso- and metapleuron large, with long, black, 

 pleural suture; episternum larger than epimeron, with indistinct dots and 

 thick, short, secondary setae; primary setae long, situated distally close to the 

 suture; epimeron without dots, with a large dark distal primary seta 

 and several secondary setae. 



Prosternite reddish brown, trapezoidal, with small dark sclerites 

 laterally. Horn blunt, dark (Figure llO). Mesothorax with 2 large and 

 several smaller dots ventrally on each side. Metathorax with 2 large and 

 3—4 small dots on each side ventrally. 



Legs dark brown. Forelegs shorter and more massive than midlegs; 

 hind legs slightly longer and thinner. Ratio of length of legs 79:100:103. 



Fore coxa (Figure 111) markedly shorter than femur. Femur slightly 

 convex dorsally, slightly concave in apical half ventrally. Tibia short, 

 curved at the base, wider apically. Primary setae of fore coxa 

 (Figure 111, A, B) as follows: basodorsal seta long; posterior of the 

 2 distodorsal setae situated near apex of depression, anterior more 

 distally; both anterior surface setae dark, thick, branched at apex 

 (Figure 111, C); posterior distoventral seta smaller than anterior; 

 secondary setae situated dorsally and subdorsally at the anterior margin, 

 less numerous at the posterior margin, subdorsal anterior seta large, 

 branched at apex (Figure 111, C); several secondary setae on the anterior 

 and ventral surface and distally. 



Primary, posterior seta of trochanter (Figure 111, B) short, thick; 

 anterior seta of characteristic form, branched apically (Figure 111, D); 

 anterior ventral setae, apical and subapical, in form of thick spines, apex of 

 subapical seta consisting of 2 branches; in some specimens these setae 

 66 resemble the anterior seta but are very short, appear ing as if they are broken 

 spines (Figure 111, D); primary basoventral seta long; both posterior setae
