Diagnosis. — With the typical characteristics 
of the subgenus Pseudoficalbia: trumpets short, 
their total length about two and one-fourth 
times the greatest diameter of the meatus; tra- 
cheoid area reduced to only a few basal rings; 
with both terminal and accessory setae on pad- 
dles. Setae A-VII and A-VIII, as well as seta B 
on segments IV-VII, short, less than one-half 
the length of their respective segments. Very 
similar to U. quadrimaculata, but separable from 
it in having seta 1 on segment II three- or four- 
branched while on quadrimaculata this seta is 
simple.
