Antennal bristles : Segments VIII and IX each with a ventral antennal bristle, about 34(x 

 long ; segment X with 3 similar, preapical bristles, the dorsal of which is slightly shorter and 

 at a greater distance from the apex. Terminal segment also with two capitate sabapical 

 sensory setae, about 37 ;x long, and one apical hair-like seta. 



Thorax : 509-547 (524)^ long. Prothorax : Pronotal ridges interrupted in the middle ; 

 lateral pronotal sclerites and post-tergites small. Proepisternum with ridge-like dorsal margin ; 

 propleural ridge short and propleural apophysis small. Prosternal ridge double barred, 76-92 

 (85) (x long. Prothoracic setae on each side of the median line : One medial pronotal seta usually 

 present (av. 09) ; one lateral pronotal seta also may be present or absent (av. 08) ; post- 

 tergital setae absent. Antespiracular dorsal setae 1-2 (i-8) h.s. One antespiracular ventral seta 

 and one prosternal seta always present. Prothoracic disc pores on each side : Medial pronotal 

 pores 5-10 (8-4) ; lateral pronotal pores 3-4 (3-8). Antespiracular dorsal pores 5-9 (7-4) ; 

 post-tergital pores 2-6 (4-4). Ventrally, 1-2 (i-8) prosternal pores occur medially. 



Mesothorax : Prescutum subrectangular in dorsal view : 82-85 (84) H long and 122-143 

 (134) u. wide, i.e. the ratio length to width 1 : 1-4-1-7 (1 : i-6). Prescutal ridge strong and 

 prescutal suture distinct. Scutum with heavily sclerotized anterolateral extremities and with 

 a longitudinal median narrow membranous area. Scutum 98-116 (104)^ long, i.e. the ratio 

 lengths of prescutum to scutum 1 : 1-2-1-4 ( l '■ 1*22). Prealare, prealar ridge, triangular 

 plate, tegula, anterior and posterior notal wing processes well developed. Sattellum pentagonal, 

 58-67 (6i)(jl long and 98-116 (104)0. wide, the ratio length to width 1 : 1-6-1-7 (168), and the 

 ratio its length to the length of scutum 1 : 1-6-1-7 ( I- 67). Postalare with well separated 

 anterior and posterior postalar ridges ; postnotal apophysis strong. Mesopleuron : Mesopleural 

 ridge interrupted above the coxal articulation ; mesopleural apophysis, mesopleural wing 

 process and basalare well developed. The mesepisteruttin anteriorly bounded by the sub- 

 episternal ridge ; lateropleurite narrow ; mesepimeron small and heavily sclerotized. Meso- 

 slernum : Basisternum 137-156 (143)0. long and 180-204 ( J 89)|x wide ; the marginal and 

 precoxal ridges, as well as the furca strongly developed. Mesothoracic spiracles 18-21 (20) u, 

 wide at opening, with 31-40 (35) [x. long supporting bar. Mesothoracic setae on each side of the 

 median line : Prescutal setae 3-4 (3-8) ; scutal setae 8-10 (9-4) ; scutellar setae 2-4 (2-8). 

 Tegular setae 2-3 (2-6) ; postmesostigmatal setae 4-5 (4-4) in a lateral group behind each spiracle. 

 Basisternal setae 10-13 ( II- 8). Mesothoracic disc pores : 2-4 (3-0) mesospiracular pores present 

 behind each spiracle ; postmesostigmatal pores absent. 



Metathorax : Metapostnotal sclerites well developed and metapostnotal ridge distinct. Meta- 

 pleural ridge provides a small metapleural apophysis near the middle ; metapleural wing process, 

 small. Precoxal ridge, metepisternum, metepimeron and metasternal apophysis well developed. 

 Metathoracic spiracle identical with that of the mesothorax. Metathoracic setae on each side : 

 Metatergal setae 3-5 (4-0), in a sublateral group ; metapleural setae absent. Anterior meta- 

 sternal setae 4-6 (5-0) ; posterior metasternal setae 0-2 (i-o). Metathoracic pores on each side : 

 Metaspiracular pores 2-3 (2-4) ; anterior metasternal pores 3-4 (34) ; and posterior metasternal 

 pores also 3-4 (3-5). 



Wings : 854-924 (896) jx long and 308-364 (336) u, wide ; axillary and additional sclerites 

 well developed. 3 alar setae and 2 circular sensoria always present. Hamulohalterae 67-73 

 (70) [x long and 15-18 (17) [x wide ; with a slender ridge and an apically hooked seta, 40-46 

 (43) {x long (the ratio its length to the length of the hamulohaltera 1 : 1-6-1-7 ( I- 64)-
