yellowish spines larger than those on the surface at the lateral margin; 

 a brown border at the short lateral margin; posterior margin wide, 

 brownish, only a medium stripe instead of the 2 black transverse stripes; 

 process at posterior angle small, with narrow, dark outer stripe. Dots 

 on the surface pale, large, lighter than the background, forming an indistinct 

 X-shaped pattern, and small groups of dots laterally near the posterior 

 margin; each half of sclerite with 2 large, light brown dots in the middle. 

 Setae few, as in Figure 147; anterior -margin, anterior -angle, and medioanal 

 surface setae moderately long, dark brown, larger than the others. Horn 

 absent. 



Mesonotum (Figure 148) light brown, slightly sclerotized near posterior 

 margin, with median indentation; anterior margin with narrow, rust brown 

 stripe lateral to the suture; a narrow, whitish stripe with irregular, jagged 

 lateral outline along the median suture; lateral margin light, with a small 

 reddish spot at the posterior angle; dots light chestnut brown, forming a 

 transverse median row, 3 large dots in each half, and an oblique row of small 

 dots at the anterior angle; setae dark brown, as in Figure 148; anterior- 

 margin seta brown, long, anterior -angle seta long, slightly displaced 

 posteriorly; these 2 setae and the primary medioanal seta longer than the 

 others. 



Anterior -median tergites of metanotum absent, each replaced by 4 large 

 and 2 small setae; posterior median tergites replaced by a large, medioanal, 

 primary seta and 2—3 smaller setae; lateral tergites light brownish, distinct 

 only anteriorly, with a transverse band in form of large pinkish dot and fine 

 streaks; anterior part with 9—10 setae, including 2 long ones: the primary 

 anterior- angle and one secondary seta. 



Propleuron with a large, rhomboidal black spot instead of a groove; 

 epimeron short, broadly oval, its inner margin with a narrow, reddish brown 

 stripe and 2 short dark setae (primary and secondary) near the suture; 

 episternum reddish brown; trochantin relatively large, with broad, black 

 base, seta dark, situated near base, setules small, light situated more 

 apically. 



Mesopleuron (Figure 148) reddish brown, darker and larger than 

 metapleuron; pleural suture in form of a narrow stripe, 2 large, chestnut 

 brown dots on the side of the epimeron near the suture; epimeron without 

 dots; a group of small, reddish spinules in the apical angle; 8—9 setae 

 near apex of episternum, 6—7 on epimeron; both primary setae and 2—3 

 secondary setae longer and thinner than the others, dark brown. 



Metapleuron pale brownish; epimeron produced ventrally; episternum 

 with 11 — 12 setae which are not uniform, as stated by Babutova (1941:101, 

 Figure 89), but differ in size; epimeron with 13—15 setae on the whole 

 process, not only in the posterior part; primary seta situated near the 

 suture, and 2—3 secondary setae dark brown and longer than the others. 



Legs (Figure 149) brown. Ratio of length of legs 69:100:94. Fore 

 femur similar to mid -femur. Fore and mid -trochanters with long posterior 

 primary seta. Secondary setae of all femora thin, most of them, small, 

 concentrated dorsally on the anterior and posterior surface. 



Fore femur slightly convex dorsally, with straight ventral margin; 

 primary ventral setae situated in basal area close to each other, in form 

 of 2 light spines, apical spine twice as large as and slightly thinner than 



108
