 suture, one situated near margin and forming a narrow, light stripe parallel 

 to the suture, the other oblique in angle at margin; anterior margin, 

 including anterior angle, wide, brown; lateral margin indistinct; posterior 

 margin wide, blackish brown, with 2 large, light spots, and 2 small spots; 

 posterior margin divided from other surface by a sharp ridge with black 

 median, and reddish brown lateral parts; lateral edge of posterior margin 

 black, posterior edge interrupted, with a large, black spot in each half, and 

 with a short, reddish stripe in middle. A row of 12—13 blackish brown, 

 thick, long setae, and shorter setae at anterior margin; 2—3 light, thin setae 

 at lateral margin, and a dark, moderately long seta situated some distance 

 from margin; surface with 4 median and 2 lateral, dark, thick, moderately 

 long setae, 2 smaller, dark setae and 18—20 light, thin, moderately long to 

 short setae laterally. 



Mesonotum (Figure 608, B) chestnut brown anteriorly, light brown 

 posteriorly, whitish in some places, with indistinct punctation, in contrast 

 to Lepidostoma; setae more numerous than in Lepidostoma and 

 concentrated in median, anterior-margin, anterior-angle, and posterior- 

 margin areas, the latter with 3 setae, median and anterior -angle areas with 

 2 thick, blackish brown setae longer than others. 



Median tergites of metanotum (Figure 608, C) rounded, brownish, small, 

 larger than in L. hirtum; lateral tergite brownish, in form of a narrow, 

 oblong plate; median tergites with only primary setae, anterior-margin 

 surface seta and medioanal seta moderately long, thick, blackish brown, 



358 intermediate and lateral setae situated submarginally, and small, light, 

 setuliform; anterior part of lateral tergite with 16—17 setae of different 

 size, including 2 long, blackish brown setae, one primary anterior-angle, 

 and one secondary seta. 



Propleuron as in L. hirtum; seta of epimeron brown, situated at distal 

 margin; trochanter black basally, yellowish apically, seta thin, light brown, 

 setule light. Mesopleuron as in L e pi d o s t o ma, triangular, mainly 

 brownish; pleural groove reddish brown, with black, distal spot; anterior 

 angle of episternum with a large, blackish brown spot; distal margin of 

 epimeron reddish brown; a dark stripe at base of lateral margin; setae 

 situated distally blackish brown; seta of episternum moderately long, 

 situated near suture; seta of epimeron shorter, situated near posterior 

 margin of stripe. Metapleuron as in L. hi rtu m, weakly sclerotized, pleural 

 groove and setae as on mesothorax. 



Legs rust brown, without spots, segments as in L. hirtum; ratio of 

 length of legs 59:100:104. 



Chaetotaxy of legs as in L. h i r t u m, with some differences; large setae 

 brown or dark brown. Basodorsal seta of fore coxa (Figure 609) moderately 



359 long, strong; anterior distodorsal seta short, strong; posterior distodorsal 

 seta situated some distance from apex of indentation, thick, long; 7—8 long, 

 and moderately long, secondary setae further distally at and near margin; 

 one anterior primary seta in basal part short, strong, situated near anterior 

 distodorsal seta; 2nd seta situated in middle of segment, thick, long, longer 

 than in L. hirtum; distoventral setae moderately long, anterior seta darker 

 and thicker than subventral, posterior seta. Anterior seta of trochanter
