Dorsal and subdorsal primary setae of tibia arranged in 2 pairs, apical 

 and subapical; dorsal setae of apical pair longer than the others; further 

 basally at the margin are similar thin secondary setae, 2 large and a short 

 seta; primary distoventral setae in form of 2 thick spines; 3 pairs of 

 similar secondary setae further basally at the margin, sometimes also 

 a single spine; number of ventral spinules varying, sometimes there 

 are only 2 or one pair of ventral spines in addition to the distal pair, 

 without a single spine. 



Tarsus dorsally with 2 thin setae near apex; both apical -ventral setae 

 short, light; several small spinules between the setae and further basally. 



FIGURE 111. Dicosmoecus palatus McL. Foreleg, anterior (A) and posterior (B) ; 

 anterior surface and large subdorsal, secondary seta of coxa (C); distal part of trochanter, 

 anterior (D) 



Seta of claw in form of large, thick, blunt spine at the base. Mid- and 

 hind legs (Figures 112, 113) similar; coxa long, slightly shorter than 

 femur; femur almost straight, rodlike; tibia slightly wider distally; hind 

 tarsus slightly longer than mid -tarsus. 



Chaetotaxy of coxa uniform. Anterior and posterior primary setae 

 of mid -trochanter (Figure 112) small, thick; anterior distoventral seta 

 in form of thick, light spine; intermediate seta thick, short; basal seta 

 long as is posterior distoventral seta; posterior subapical seta slightly 

 shorter; secondary setae not numerous in basal and apical part; a row 

 of curved light chaetoids ventrally on distal part. 



Anterior and posterior setae of femur short, thick, situated in distal 

 part; primary ventral setae in formof 2 sharp, large spines, secondary setae 

 at the margin in form of 5—6 short, blunt or pointed spines; fewer small
