Abdomen : 327-479 (410)11 long and 281-334 (3 I2 )[i wide. Tergites of segments I and II 

 small ; that of segment VIII large. Sternites of segment VIII ill-defined. Ostioles absent. 

 Abdominal setae on each side : Dorsal setae 2-3 on segment I, 2 on segments II to VII, and 

 one slightly longer seta on segment VIII. Pleural setae 2 on segment I, 3-4 on segments II 

 to VI, and 4-5 on segments VII and VIII, including one slightly longer seta on the latter. 

 Ventral setae 2-3 on segments II to IV, 3-4 on segments V to VII, and 1-2 on segment VIII. 



Glandular pouches small ; setae of glandular pouch include a pair of 198-217 (207)^ long tail 

 setae, the ratio their length to the total length of the body being 1 : 5-4-6-3 (5-9).
