short. Surface yellowish light brown, with numerous dark brown spinules; 

 pronotum chestnut brown. Anterior margin reddish brown, with a comb of 

 large, blunt, thick, yellowish spines. Lateral margin reddish brown with 

 small, dense spinules. Posterior margin yellowish, with smaller brown 

 spinules, with distinct chestnut brown stripe anteriorly; posterior margin 

 with black stripe in the middle, narrowly chestnut brown more laterally; 

 process at posterior angle small, brownish, with small, reddish brown 

 spinules and separated by a black stripe; a similar stripe near the outer 

 margin; a large, black spot extending to the lateral margin near the 

 process. Dots light brown, with darker outline; 2 dots close together 

 in middle of each half; 8—10 similar dots near the posterior margin; setae 

 thin, pinkish brown, not numerous, as in Figure 158. 



Mesonotum (Figure 159) flat, situated in the anterior, most convex part 

 of the segment, leaving a membranous, posterior area. Sclerite yellowish, 

 with reddish brown spinules; spinules larger but sparser in the middle, 

 which appears, therefore, lighter than the sides. Middle of each half with 

 large brownish dots with dark outline. Anterior margin pinkish brown, 

 broader toward the middle. Anterior angle and lateral margin pale. 

 Posterior angle with a large reddish black triangular or rhomboidal spot. 

 Posterior margin of sclerite convex, indistinct. Setae pinkish brown; 

 anterior -angle and medioanal setae longer and thicker than on pronotum. 



Metapleuron well developed, light yellowish brown; a transverse band 

 with a small reddish brown spot and larger brownish spot; setae of anterior 

 part chestnut brown, 6 large and 3 smaller, thin setae; primary anterior- 

 angle setae larger than the others. 



Proepimeron slightly darker than pronotum, brownish, with dark spinules; 

 seta situated distally, short, chestnut brown. Trochantin with large black 

 spot; seta light, short. Mesopleuron (Figure 159) resembling lateral parts 

 of mesonotum in color and spinules; process of anterior angle lighter, 

 with larger and lighter spinules; epimeron with narrow stripe reaching 

 the suture and without spinules. Episternum with 8—9 setae, epimeron 

 with 6—7. Metapleuron lighter, yellowish, brownish near the suture; surface 

 spinules small, sparse, absent in some places, larger distally; setae 

 chestnut brown; epimeron including posterior-angle process with 14—15 

 setae; episternum with more densely standing setae; primary setae, as 

 on mesothorax, longer and thicker than the others. 



Prothoracic horn light brown, tapering, light at the end (Figure 160). 

 Sternite consisting of 2 small, grayish brown sclerites in posterior part 

 of segment. 



Legs shining brown; ratio of length of legs 77:100:92; spinules on 

 coxae and femora of fore- and midlegs dense, less dense on hind legs. 



Fore coxa densely spinulose dorsally, posteriorly and ventrally; only 

 spinules of anterior surface larger in the middle (Figure 161, A). Basodorsal 

 primary seta of coxa, long, brown; both apical dorsal setae brownish, the 

 posterior thinner and slightly longer than the others ; primary anterior setae 

 light pinkish brown, short, uniformly thick, divided at the end; both apical ventral 

 setae moderately long; the anterior ventral setae light brown; posterior 

 setae situated subventrally, dark. Only a few isolated, light, snaall setae, 

 large secondary setae absent.
