 setae; labial palps distinct, with small, light sensilla (Figure 800, C).

 articulation with pleuron. A row of long, light setae at anterior margin and 

 rounded anterior angle; 3 long and 4 small setae on surface; a group of

 surface with 4 setae on each side, 2 of them long.

 seta short, thin; anterior angles with groups of 14 — 15 moderately long, 

 strong, brown setae.

 nearer to middle of trochantin; seta of epimeron similar, situated on black, 

 pleural suture (Figure 801, B). 



Pleurites of meso- and metathorax yellowish, indistinct; pleural suture in 

 form of narrow, black stripe, slightly wider distally; margin of episternum 

 indistinct, brownish; seta situated near end of margin; seta of epimeron 

 situated on membrane behind sclerite; both setae strong, dark, moderately 

 long.

 moderately long setae ventrally, 19—21 on each side. 



Fore coxa with several, large brownish dots posteriorly; rows of long, 

 golden brown setae dorsally at anterior and posterior margin; primary 

 basodorsal seta longer than the others; both apical setae thick situated at 

 margin of depression; both anterior primary setae moderately long, 

 situated distally; anterior ventral and anterior subventral surface with 

 numerous, large, secondary setae; both primary distoventral setae situated 

 among them. 



Trochanter with short anterior and posterior primary setae, the former 

 smaller, dark brown, both situated distally; basal primary seta of the 5 

 ventral spines long, brown; the 2 following anterior setae in form of brown, 

 strong spine: one of them apical, the other subapical; both posterior ventral 

 setae long; secondary setae few, short, thin, mainly on posterior surface 

 and ventrally, ventral side with 10—12 thin, white chaetoids among setae. 



Femur with numerous short and long dorsal setae; apical dorsal of the 

 2 primary setae larger than basodorsal seta; a row of short and moderately
