as shown also in Brindle (1964:195, Figure 2); numerous, brownish dots on 

 surface; setae thin, brown, numerous (Figure 855, b), forming a dense group 

 at anterior angle, a similar group on whole anterior third of sclerite, and 

 a sparser posterior row of setae at margin of sclerotized area. 



Metanotum without tergites but with slightly harder membranous 

 areas laterally at anterior margin, each area with 19—20 setae; posterior 

 part with a similar row of 23—2 5 setae in each half; anterior -angle group 

 formed by 18—19 thin setae, including a longer primary anterior -angle 

 seta. 



Propleuron large, chestnut brown; episternum larger than epimeron; 

 pleural groove deep, blackish brown; epimeron light brown, indistinct, roughly 

 triangular; trochantin large, distinct, dark posteriorly, with a light, horn- 

 shaped process at anterior angle; primary seta of epimeron moderately 

 long, dark, accompanied by several small teat-shaped chaetae; trochantin 

 with 4 moderately long setae at anterior margin and subapically on surface, 

 one of setae primary, 2—3 others small, Pleurites of meso- and metathorax 

 weakly sclerotized, in form of indistinct, pale grayish membranous areas; 

 pleural suture distinct, widening apically into a cross, blackish brown, in 

 form of a narrow, brownish stripe basally; setae sparse, thin, much shorter 

 and smaller than on mesonotum. Primary seta of mesepimeron moderately 

 long, situated distally close to suture near 3 similar secondary setae; a 

 short, thin seta situated more basally; primary seta of episternum 

 accompanied by a secondary seta at margin of weakly sclerotized, light 

 anterior -angle stripe. Primary seta of metepimeron situated in a group 

 of 9—10 thin secondary setae at margin of pleural suture; anterior angle 

 of episternum with a thin, moderately long primary seta and 2—3 secondary 

 setae. 



Ratio of length of legs 70:100:121; large setae reddish brown. 



Fore coxa (Figure 856, A) massive, short, conical, very wide basally, 

 slightly dark at dorsal margin, reddish brown subdorsally on anterior and 

 posterior sides, with 3 large light dots posteriorly; distodorsal depression 

 shallow; anterior basodorsal seta strong, brown, moderately long; 

 anterior apical dorsal seta small; posterior apical dorsal seta situated 

 near depression, thin, brown, relatively long, longest on leg; 2 moderately 

 long, brown secondary setae and 3 shorter and thinner yellowish setae 

 further distally at the margin; middle of anterior surface with 15 — 16 short 

 to moderately long strong setae, including 2 thicker anterior primary setae; 

 posterior surface subdorsally and basal to primary seta with a row and 

 group of 14—15 thin, short to moderately long setae, with 5—6 sparse, lighter 

 setae in middle; subventral and posterior ventral areas with numerous 

 secondary setae of various size, most of them long; both distoventral setae 

 strong, moderately long, dark brown, posterior seta situated subventrally. 



Trochanter mainly shining brown, like following segments; basal part 

 slightly darker dorsally, with 2 large, light dots; a black spot ventrally at 

 articulation. Anterior seta small, uniformly thick, forked; posterior seta 

 smaller, blunt, spine-shaped, situated subventrally, like former seta; anterior 

 apical ventral seta in form of large, thick, blunt spine; subapical seta 

 represented by a smaller spine; a row of secondary, spine-shaped setae 

 situated more basally; posterior ventral setae light, moderately long, 

 situated apically and subapically, a similar secondary seta situated more
