Sclerites of maxillolabium yellowish, reddish brown in some places. 

 Sclerites of cardo large, brown, with black median spot, and a broad, black 

 stripe and 2 small, light setae laterally at anterior margin. Median sclerites 

 of submentum yellowish, with light brown, lateral process with thick, light 

 seta anteriorly. Stipes large, yellowish, with reddish yellow, posterior 

 margin; setae light, basal seta larger than apical. Palpifer light brown; 

 distal seta small, thick, brown; median seta small, light. Galea short, 

 reaching base of segment 4 of palp; segment 1 of palp shorter than following 

 2 segments; segment 4 smaller than others, with large sensillae. Mentum 

 with reddish brown transverse stripe. Ventral sclerites represented by 

 brown stripes with a light, thick, subapical seta. Palpiger horseshoe-shaped, 

 yellowish brown. Labial palp relatively large, with yellowish sclerite and 

 2 large sensillae. 



Pi'onotum (Figure 541, A) dark brown; posterior margin yellowish, with 

 wide, black stripe; posterior-angle processes light brown, with reddish 

 brown lateral m.argin; anterior part of sclerite flat in middle; posterior 

 part strongly convex, humped in lateral view (Figure 541, B). Punctate 

 pattern and setae situated mainly in posterior and lateral parts; X- shaped, 

 median dot and 2 groups of dots situated in middle and laterally in each 

 half of sclerite. Flat part with long, black, anterior-margin seta some 

 distance from median suture; 2 brown, moderately long setae, and a long, 

 black anterior -angle seta further along margin; behind the latter, a similar, 

 thick, black, secondary seta at margin of flat area and some distance from 

 each other; a long, black, medioanal seta near median suture; other setae 

 situated outside flat area; lateral parts of sclerite with thick, strong, black 

 setae, most of themi short or moderately long. 



Mesonotum (Figure 542, A) light brown, with yellowish posterior angles; 

 anterior angle, lateral, and posterior margin with black margin forming a 



311 large process; an oblique stripe with a large, oblong, black, or dark brown 

 spot on surface. Surface with numerous dots, lateral dots in anterior part 

 forming a large wedge-shaped pattern; middle of sclerite with 3 large dots, 

 one behind the other, and 2 smaller dots laterally; posterior part with a 

 group of dots and a dot near posterior margin. Setae dark brown or black; 

 anterior -margin seta strong, situated some distance from margin and median 

 suture; anterior -angle seta long, situated some distance from angle; 

 numerous thick, strong setae, short and moderately long, all directed 

 anteriorly, situated between anterior angle and base of median suture; thus, 



312 middle of mesonotum with few setae, but surrounded by a dense crown of 

 strong setae. 



Anterior-median tergites of metathorax (Figure 542, B) large, chestnut 

 brown, in form of long triangles; setae dark brown, most of them moderately 

 long, primary seta longer and thicker. Posterior median tergites smaller 

 than anterior tergites, oblong, grayish brown; dark brown or blackish setae 

 of varying size, most of them thick and strong, situated on, between, and 

 lateral to the sclerites. Lateral tergites yellowish brown; transverse >■ 

 stripe reddish brown, with 3 large dots; setae only in anterior part, dense, 

 short to moderately long; primary, anterior -angle seta slightly longer than 

 others. 



Propleuron: epimeron relatively large, lobed, yellowish, seta small, black; 

 pleural groove black; episternum brown, trochantin small, blackish, seta 

 small, reddish brown.
