situated near distal margin, one long, the other shorter; several secondary- 

 setae in apical and basal parts of trochanter. Large, whitish, feathered 

 chaetoids, curved toward apex ventrally in the distal third; small, light, 

 blunt and pointed spinules near the chaetoids.

Primary basodorsal seta of femur short, slightly curved; apical -dorsal 

 slightly longer; anterior and posterior setae short, the former at the apex, 

 the latter near the ventral margin at the base; 2 primary large, yellowish, 

 sharp spines ventrally, the basal spine smaller, sometimes divided 

 apically; together with the primary setae, there are 5—6 secondary setae 

 at the margin in form of massive yellowish spines; between these are 

 small, transparent to light, pointed spinules which may be isolated, in rows 

 or in groups; secondary dorsal and surface setae few, short, thin (Figure 

 111); some setae of the subventral row sometimes divided apically; 

 several, curved, whitish chaetoids ventrally near the base, resembling 

 those on the trochanter.
