 margin; lateral seta dark brown, second seta black. Submentum brown; 

 setae on sclerotized dots large, blackish brown. Stipes brown, darker 

 basally; median seta short, lateral seta moderately long, both dark brown. 

 Palpifer reddish brown, black basally; apical seta dark, large, reaching 

 end of segment 3 of palp; basal seta small, light. Galea short, lobe -shaped. 

 Mentum black laterally and basally, reddish brown in middle of anterior 

 margin. Ventral sclerites oblong, narrower apically; seta light. Palpiger 

 horseshoe -shaped, reddish brown. Sclerites of palp yellow; sensillae light. 



Pronotum (Figure 279) lighter than head, light smoke brown; anterior 

 margin with narrow, golden brown stripe; anterior angle rounded. Posterior 

 margin with narrow black stripe; posterior-angle process with 3 large, 

 fused, pinkish brown dots, with black lateral margin. Groove in anterior 

 third of sclerite slightly dark in middle. Dots small, pinkish brown, forming 

 a large, X-shaped pattern, a wedge-shaped pattern at anterior corner, and 

 groups laterally in posterior part. Anterior -margin area with 7 large, black, 

 thick, moderately long, submarginal setae and 7—8 thin, short and moderately 

 long, black setae between them; small, light, sparse setae situated at anterior 

 margin. Anterior third of sclerite with a long, thick, black anterior -angle 

 seta, a shorter, thin, black, secondary seta posterior to it; one median and 

 one lateral primary surface long, black, but shorter and thinner than 

 anterior -angle seta; intermediate seta much smaller; a thick, moderately 

 long, black seta near median suture before X-shaped pattern; a large, 

 secondary seta situated behind interraediate seta; a few, small, secondary 

 setae in anterior third and middle of sclerite. 



Mesonotum light brown, grayish brown, or uniformly pale near median 

 suture, in each half, lighter than pronotum; anterior margin narrow 

 and golden brown or barely visible in the middle, broader laterally, with 

 a golden brown stripe; posterior margin narrowly black or brownish black; 

 posterior angle wider, reddish black; posterior-angle area with a reddish 

 brown, oblique stripe; dots small, pinkish brown, narrow in middle, forming 

 a median group of 7—8 dots; dense groups of dots in middle, a wedge-shaped, 

 „„ punctate pattern at anterior angle, and a row of dots near posterior margin. 

 Setae black, except smallest setae; primary anterior -margin seta moderately 

 long, situated some distance from margin, thick, strong, near a small 

 secondary seta; anterior-angle group including a long, thick, black, primary 

 seta; 2— 3 moderately long, black secondary setae, and 7—9 small, brownish 

 secondary setae; primary surface setae situated in posterior part; 

 medioanal seta long, black, thick; intermediate situated slightly posteriorly 

 and laterally, short, thin, black, lateral seta thinner and smaller; secondary 

 setae: 2—3 small, near primary setae, a large seta near suture and 4—5 

 very small setae in different parts of sclerite. 



Tergites of metathorax pale, anterior and posterior sclerites light 

 brown, lateral sclerites, whitish yellow, with a narrow, oblique, reddish brown, 

 transverse stripe, with 2—3 dots anteriorly, 6—7 posteriorly. Chaetotaxy 

 of anterior pair of sclerites: primary anterior -margin seta moderately long, 

 black; 2 of secondary setae almost the same, other 7—8 setae thin, more 

 or less long, or small, brown. Chaetotaxy of posterior pair of sclerites: 

 .nA primary, median seta moderately long, thick; intermediate seta almost the 

 same, dark; lateral seta thin, moderately long, or short; 3—4 secondary
