Metathorax. Metanotum with anterior margin desclerotized medially ; suspensorial scleriles 

 small, spot-like. Postnotum consisting of a transverse sclerite on each side. Metatergal setae : 

 one h.s. on each side. Pleural ridge well developed, though interrupted near the middle ; 

 with a small wing process. Episternum with anterior margin not ridge-like ; vestigial precoxal 

 ridge sometimes present ; epimeron produced posteriorlv. Metathoracic spiracle similar to 

 mesothoracic one. Dorsospiracular setae absent. Postmetaspiracular setae : occasionally one 

 h.s. Metasternal plate weak and irregular. Anterior and posterior metasternal setae absent. 



Wings hyaline ; long (1110-1190, average 1155 u.) and of medium width (450-510, average 

 474 |i), ratio width to length being 1 : 2-33-2-58 (average 2 44) ; alar lobe present ; alar setae 

 absent. Halteres well developed, 95-114 (average 103) jz long and 20-30 (average 25) u. wide, 

 each with one apically hooked seta, which is about 50 [■. long. 



Legs short and slender, with the fore pair longest and the middle pair shortest ; ratio length 

 of hind leg to body length is 1 : 1 -94-2-06 (average 1 -99). Length of segments (in u.) :

Coxae with 7-14 (average 10) f.s. on the fore and 14-19 on the middle and hind coxa, and eai li 

 with 7-15 h.s. ; fore coxa with 1-2 (average 1 4) pointed coxa! bristles, about as long as segment ; 

 api( il seta about half as long as trochanter. Trochanters 24-29 u. wide ; with 6 oval sensilla, 

 4-8 f.s. and 6-8 h.s., the latter including 2 minute setae near basal ridge, one small seta on outer 

 margin and 2 long setae of which the longest (apical), on the [ore tnx banter, is 1 s 2*2 (average 

 2) times as long as width of trochanter. Femora of medium width (34-40 (j), ratio width to 

 length of hind femur being 1 : 4-4-5-0 (4-7) ; each with 8-14 f.s. and 12-19 h.s. Tibiae 

 19-23 [i wide, ratio width to length of hind tibia being 1 : 12-3-14-6 (average 131) ; each with 

 35-51 setae of which ig-27 are h.s. and 15-30 f.s., latter somewhat longer than width of tibia ; 

 apical spur about the same size on all tibiae. Tarsi 19-23 (■. wide, hind tarsus 4-2— 4-9 (average 

 4-4) times longer than wide ; each with 4-8 f.s. and 11-17 h.s. ; tarsal digitules subequal, 

 longer than claw. Claws of medium length, a little longer than width of tarsus ; slightly 

 curved, with small denticle near tip ; ungual digitules subequal, about as long as claw 



Abdomen 420-480 (average 461) u, long and 240-300 (average 263) \jl wide. 



Segments I-VII : tergites on segments 1 1 — 1 1 1 represented by small sclerites on the anterior 

 margin — one on each side and one medially on II, one on each side on III, and on segments 

 VI-VII by weak transverse plates ; sternites present on all segments, represented by a weak 

 transverse plate on the anterior and posterior segments and a small sclerite on each side on the 

 intermediate segments. Caudal extension of segment VII small, rounded, not sclerotized. 

 Dorsal setae : h.s. only, usually one on each side on all segments. Pleural setae consisting of 

 h.s. only, which include dorsopleural setae : occasionally one on III and usually 2 on each of 

 segments IV— VI, and ventropleural setae : occasionally one on each of segments IV-V and 

 usually one on VI. Segment VII with 3-5 (average 3-8) h.s. Ventral setae : h.s. only, 1 

 medially on II, and 1-3 (average 2-4), 2-4 (average 3), 3-4 (average 3-5), 3-5 (average 3-9) and 

 3-4 (average 3-8) on segments III-VII respectively. 



Segment VIII with transverse tergite and sternite ; caudal extension forming a small, simple 

 lobe ; glandular pouch with 2 long, pointed setae, whose protruding part is 2-2^ times as long 

 as section within pouch. No IX tergite observed. Ante-anal setae : 2 long h.s. Posterior 

 margin with 2-4 (average 26) h.s. on each side. 



Genital segment. Penial sheath of medium length, about ^ total body length (ratio 1 : 5 09- 

 5-65, average 5-39), 247-277 (average 266) u. long and 46-61 (average 52) u. wide ; lateral 

 sclerotizations not joined anterior to anus; length of basal rod %-% that of aedeagus, the rod
