Abdomen : 357-562 (464)^ long and 258-304 (281)0. wide. Tergites of segments I, II and 

 sometimes III small ; those of segments VIII and IX + X distinct. Ostioles ill-defined. 

 Abdominal setae on each side : Dorsal setae 2-4 on segment I, 3-5 on segments II and III, 

 3-4 on segments IV to VII, and 2 on segment VIII. Pleural setae 1-2 on segment I, 2-3 on 

 segment II, 3-5 on segments III to VII, and always 3 on segment VIII. Ventral setae 1 on 

 segment II, 3-4 on segments III and IV, 2-3 on segments V to VII, and absent on segment 

 VIII. Abdominal pores : Pleural pores 3-5 (4-1), 1-2 (it), (i-o), 1-2 (it), (i-o), and (i-o) on 

 segments I to VI, respectively. Segments I to VII also with 0-1 (o-6), 1-2 (1-2), 1-2 (it), 

 0-2 (0-9), 0-1 (0-9), and 0-1 (o-8) dorsal pores, and segments II to VI with 0-2 (o-6), 0-2 (0-7), 

 0-1 (0-5), 0-1 (0-3), and 0-1 (o-i) ventral pores, respectively. 



Glandular pouches well developed, occurring on each side of segments VII and VIII. Setae 

 of glandular pouch of segment VII include a pair of 168-207 (177) H- long tail setae ; those of 

 segment VIII include a pair of 189-223 (204)0 long tail setae, and one seta about as long as the 

 abdominal setae, i.e. the ratio length of the tail setae of segment VIII to the total body length 

 1 : 4-7-6-4 (5-4).
