8. Porous area of pleurae a narrow oval, not as broad as the naked outer 
surface, nor does it extend to the posterior margin or to the process

Porous area of the pleurae broader than the naked outer surface of same, 
and extending up to the posterior margin of the process. Margina-

from 1 5th) somite. Claws of anal legs without spurs ... 9
