Tergites of metathorax light brownish; anterior and posterior median 

 sclerites small, of equal size; 3—4 pale sclerotized dots lateral to anterior 

 median sclerites. Setae dark reddish brown; anterior -median sclerite 

 with a moderately long, thick, primary seta, and 2—3 secondary setae, one 

 of them sometimes moderately long; medioanal seta of the 3 primary setae 

 of posterior median sclerite long, the intermediate and lateral setae short, 

 thin; if present, secondary setae small. Lateral sclerite with reddish 

 transverse stripe; 2 dots in anterior part and 3—4 pale dots in posterior 

 part; anterior -angle seta moderately long, among 10—11 secondary setae 

 of different size. 



Propleuron mainly light; pleural groove brownish basally, black apically; 

 epimeron with narrow, brown stripe posteriorly and on median side, primary 

 seta short, situated near suture, a small secondary seta nearby; trochantin 

 black basally, with a short seta. 



Mesopleuron large; mesepisternum large; mesepimeron narrow, oblong; 

 pleural groove in form of a narrow, dark brown stripe with black, rhomboidal, 

 distal spot, large dots basally lateral to stripe; similar dots on 

 mesepisternum; primary setae situated distally, thick, moderately long; 

 6—7 smaller, distal, secondary setae, and 11 — 14 moderately long to small 

 surface setae. Metapleuron, whitish brown, with less distinct punctation; 

 primary setae the same, slightly shorter; 4—5 secondary, distal setae; 

 5 surface setae on metepisternum and 2 on metepimeron. 



Prosternite in form of small, indistinct, brownish, median sclerite, 

 with group of distinct, dense, chestnut brown dots laterally; horn large, 

 grayish brown (Figure 271 ). Sternites of meso- and metathorax dot- 

 shaped, 6 large, distinct brown dots laterally on mesothorax, and 3—4 

 whitish dots on metathorax. 



Legs light brown, with distinct punctate pattern; ratio of length of legs 

 60:100:94; secondary setae fewer than in Nemotaulius; large setae 

 dark brown or reddish brown. 



Fore coxa resembling that of Nemotaulius punctatolineatus; 

 dots large, chestnut brown, situated basally and ventrally on anterior 

 side and subventrally on posterior side; posterior subdorsal side of basal 

 part with a thin, reddish brown stripe with 6—7 light dots. Anterior 

 basodorsal seta thick, moderately long, dark brown, situated in group of 

 4 thin secondary setae; anterior distodorsal seta thin, light brown; 

 posterior distodorsal seta long, situated near apex of distodorsal depression; 

 3 reddish brown, smaller setae situated more distally near depression; 

 both primary anterior setae short, light brown, thick; 2 small and 3 thin, 

 ■^rn short, light, secondary setae situated on anterior surface and subventrally; 

 primary distoventral setae moderately long, thick, reddish brown, posterior 

 slightly larger. 



Anterior seta of trochanter small, thick, chestnut brown; posterior seta 

 short, thick, dark brown; primary anterior setae of ventral surface forming 

 large, light, yellowish spines, one apical, and one subapical; basal seta 

 moderately long, reddish brown; both posterior setae also long, apical seta 

 larger than subapical; distal part with thin, light, hairlike chaetoids, and a 

 row of small spinules between setae. 



Femur slightly convex dorsally, almost straight ventrally, without 

 protuberance characteristic for the other genera, and without a distal
