middle with brown, transverse, wide curved stripe; large, pale brownish 

 dots lateral to stripe and in posterior area; surface with small, serrated 

 tubercles, some of them flattened; posterior margin wide, its light part 

 yellowish and finely tuberculate, with 2 black stripes, a broad, median 

 posterior, and a longer, anterior lateral stripe, partly or completely fused 

 in some specimens. Process at posterior angle almost entirely dark, near 

 large, black spot at posterior angle, with a shallow, reddish brown 

 indentation posteriorly. Primary anterior -margin seta moderately long, 

 blackish brown; other primary setae dark brown, thin; large secondary 

 setae brown or light brown; a few light brown setae on surface and near 

 lateral margin; except for a few, the small, thick, secondary setae are light 

 yellowish and regularly distributed; anterior margin with a comb of 17—18 

 thick, light, spine-shaped setae as in spinulose comb of Baicalinini. 



Mesonotum (Figure 199, A) with chestnut brown, median, dark area 

 anteriorly, and a darker, reddish brown stripe at anterior margin; middle 

 brown, posterior light brown, merging gradually with light posterior 

 marginal area; dark area with small, dark, rounded tubercles; alight, 

 yellowish stripe without tubercles extending almost from anterior angle 

 to posterior margin; surface with large, dark brown, and smaller, brownish 

 dots; anterior angle and lateral margin with wide, distinct, black border 

 near a large, black area at posterior angle; oblique streaks of black area 

 in form of narrow dark band on oblong, reddish brown spot; primary and 

 secondary setae dark brown; medioanal seta long, larger than the others; 

 anterior-margin and primary anterior -angle setae also long but slightly 

 shorter and thinner. 



Metanotum with 8—9 thin, brown, moderately long setae on site of 

 anterior -margin sclerites; posterior median sclerites in form of small, 

 whitish plates with a large, indistinct, pale dot; lateral sclerites short, 

 indistinct posteriorly; with a large reddish brown spot laterally at concave 

 margin; with 2 large dots on site of transverse band in the middle. 



Proepimeron reddish brown; seta situated some distance from suture, 

 blackish brown, moderately long, longer than in species just described 

 (Figure 198, B). Mesopleuron as in Figure 199, B. Prothoracic horn 

 brownish, short, with light apex. 



Legs yellowish brown; basal margin of coxa black dorsally and ventrally, 

 dark reddish brown anteriorly and posteriorly; segments dark apically in 

 some places; spinules small, more numerous on the coxae. Ratio of 

 length of legs 74:100:97. Large setae brown or dark brown. 



Basal dorsal seta of fore coxa moderately long, dark brown, situated near 

 a thin, lighter, and slightly shorter secondary seta; 2 setae dorsally near 

 anterior margin of indentation, the primary seta moderately long, thick; 

 secondary seta thinner and slightly smaller; a long dark brown primary 

 seta and 4 secondary setae near posterior margin; anterior primary setae 

 of coxa light brown, thick, branched apically, situated in basal and apical 

 area; distoventral setae short, posterior brown, anterior shorter and 

 lighter; secondary setae of anterior surface consisting of a short basal 

 and 2 subventral setae. 



Anterior seta of trochanter short, light brown, branched apically; 

 posterior seta short, dark brown; basoventral seta light, thick, moderately
