brownish groove with small, single spinules in the middle; transverse 

 stripes dark reddish brown; posterior median stripe blackish laterally; 

 anterior stripe longer and narrower, extending toward median suture; 

 posterior-angle process small, whitish yellow, with broad, reddish brown 

 lateral margin separated by a brownish stripe. Primary setae brown, 

 relatively short, thick; moderately long anterior-margin seta, anterior- 

 angle seta, and medioanal seta larger and thicker than the others; secondary 

 setae numerous on the whole surface, small, most of them light or brownish, 

 those situated near the lateral margin longer, almost as long as the 

 primary setae; anterior-margin area with small, transparent, secondary 

 setae, one or two thick, light lateral setae near the anterior angle larger 

 than the others. 



Mesonotum (Figure 184) lighter than pronotum, with thin, median suture, 

 indistinct posteriorly; middle of anterior margin with indistinct brown 

 stripe, interrupted by median suture; middle of each half with light brown 

 area characteristic for the tribe, with large brownish dots laterally; middle 

 with 2 large dots; anterior area with 2 rows of smaller dots forming a 

 wedge, posterior and lateral areas whitish; large posterior-angle area 

 broadly reddish brown, with a dark brown angular spot, and a small reddish 

 stripe extending to anterior third of lateral margin; posterior margin 

 white, indistinct. Surface with minute spinules situated singly on tubercles 

 or in rows on ridges; some tubercles and ridges without spinules. Setae 

 reddish brown, most of them thick; primary setae, anterior-margin, 

 anterior-angle, and medioanal, larger than the others; of 23—24 secondary 

 setae, 9—10 are moderately long or short, and small, situated in middle 

 anteriorly, 7—8 near posterior margin, and laterally, including anterior -angle 

 and lateral groups. 



Setae of metanotum lighter and thinner, pinkish brown; 11—12 setae at 

 site of anterior-margin sclerites, 4 setae on site of posterior median 

 sclerites; lateral sclerites indistinct posteriorly, transverse band reddish 

 brown, with thin striated, anterior part white, with 14 setae, primary seta 

 and 2—3 secondary setae longer than the others. 



Propleuron with dark reddish brown pleural suture; epimeron yellow, 

 with broad, reddish brown median margin; seta moderately long, thin, 

 situated near the suture; trochantin yellowish brown, with dark reddish brown 

 spot, seta short, light. 



Horn grayish, short, with light apex (Figure 185); median sternite of 

 prothorax barely visible, whitish. 



Legs light brown, of uniform color, with reddish brown margin between 

 coxa and trochanter and femur and tibia. Ratio of length of legs 73:100:98. 



Fore coxa (Figure 186) with wide, reddish brown margin spot at base; 

 sparse spinules dorsally and on the entire surface, small, singly or in 

 rows of 2—3; setae brown, relatively thin, large; basodorsal seta moderately 

 long, 5 smaller, thin, secondary setae at the base; anterior distodorsal seta 

 small, light; long posterior seta near end of distodorsal depression; 

 2 thick, moderately long secondary setae further distally at margin; 

 anterior surface setae short, light, divided apically, widely separated 

 subdorsally near basal margin and subventrally between basal and apical 

 areas; anterior distoventral seta light, short; posterior seta brown, slightly 

 smaller; 2—3 thin, short, subventral secondary setae, and a moderately long 

 ventral seta posteriorly.
