Metathorax. Metanotum with anterior margin usually strong medially ; suspensorial 

 sclerites small, spot-like ; a small, additional sclerite occasionally present anterior to post- 

 niitum. Postnotum consisting of a transverse sclerite, which is narrow medially but usually not 

 interrupted Metatergal setae : one or two h.s. on each side. Pleural ridge well developed, but 

 usually interrupted in the middle ; with a small wing process. Precoxal ridge absent. Jipl- 

 sternum ventrally interrupted so that a small, separate sclerite is formed ; anterior margin not 

 ridge-like. Epimeron produced posteriorly. Metatkoracic spiracle similar to mesothoracic "i><- 

 Dorsospiracular setae absent. Postrnetaspiraatlar setae : occasionally one or two h.s. Meta- 

 sternum represented by a transverse plate Anterior and posterior metasternal setae : usually 

 one median h.s. each.

 630 jji), the ratio width to length being 1 : 2*17— 2-26 (average 221) ; alar lobe present ; alar 

 setae absent. H alter es well developed, 1 j 5 144, (average 136) u. long and 30-36 (average 34) y. 

 w ide, each with one apii ally hooked seta which is about 70 y. long

Coxae with 10 13 (average 11), 11 -19 (average 15) and 14 25 (average 18) f.s. on the fore, 

 middle and hind coxa respectively, and with 11 21 h.s each : fore coxa with 2 4 (average 3) 



COXal bristles ; apical seta about half as long as trochanter Trochanters 30-40 y. wide ; with 

 6 oval sensilla, 5— 10 f.s. anil 6—11 lis., the latter including 2 minute setae near basal ridge, one 

 small seta on outer margin and a long apical seta which, on the fore trochanter, is 1-2— 1-5 

 (average 1-4) times as long as width of trochanter Femora very broad (46-65 y.), ratio width 

 to length of hind femur being 1 : 32-3-8 (average 35) ; each with 32-54 f.s. and 15-31 h.s. 

 Tibiae 30-34 y. wide, ratio width to length of hind tibia being 1 : 10-4-12-2 (average 11-5) 

 Setae : 83-135, of which 35-59 are h.s and 48 81 f.s., the latter, as on the other segments, very 

 short and thick, about 5 as long as width of tibia ; apical spur about the same size on all tibiae 

 Tarsi 25-30 y wide, hind tarsus 3-6-4-1 (average 3-7) times longer than wide ; each with 

 21-40 h.s., with 0-5 (average 1-8) f.s. on the fore and none on the middle and hind tarsi ; tarsal 

 digitules subequal, longer than claw. Claws of medium length, about as long as width of tarsus ; 

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

 Abdomen 540-620 (average 577) u. long and 430-510 (average 450) y wide. 



Segments I-VII : tergites represented by a transverse sclerite on anterior margin of segments 

 II, III and sometimes IV ; sternites represented by a weak transverse plate on segments II, 

 III and V— VII. Caudal extension of segment VII small, somewhat pointed, not sclerotized. 

 Dorsal setae : h.s. only, usually one on each segment. Pleural setae : consisting of h.s. only, 

 which include dorsopleural setae : 0-2 (average i-6), 1-4 (average 2-1), 2-4 (average 3-3) and 

 0-4 (average 2-9) on segments III-YI respectively, and ventropleural setae : sometimes one on 

 each of segments [V— VI. Segment VII with 3-9 (average 5-4) h.s. Ventral setae : h.s. only, 

 usually one on each side on each of segments III— V, 4 on VI and 4-6 (average (5-6) on VII ; 

 two of the median setae on segment VII considerably longer than rest. 



Segment VIII with small tergite and transverse sternite ; glandular pouch with 2 long setae, 

 each with a small apical knob, the protruding part of these setae 2-2^ times as long as section 

 within pouch. No IXth tergite observed. A nte-anal setae absent. Posterior margin with 3 h.s. 

 on each side.
