 form of light, short spines; posterior seta situated subventrally, dark, slightly 

 more basal and almost twice as long as distal spine (Figure 381, A). Primary 

 distoventral seta of mid-femur (Figure 381, B) represented by short, light, 

 yellowish spine situated slightly basal to middle; second ventral seta 

 situated basally, dark, strong, short. Ventral setae of hind femur situated 

 close together in middle of femur, dorsal seta strong, dark, moderately long, 

 basal seta in form of large, light, yellowish spine. Pleural rows with fewer 

 gills.

 angle seta shorter and thinner; intermediate seta large, slightly smaller 

 than anterior -margin seta; lateral seta either large or short and thin on
