The ventral angle of the metasternum is acuminate (see diagram, 
p. 25). 
Abdomen. The first row of bristles on the first tergite consists in 
the of 5 to 7 bristles, in the $ of 6 to 10, the usual number being 
6 in both sexes. The second row contains in the </ 6, in the $ 6 to 10 
(usually 6) bristles. The numbers of bristles on the other tergites are 
as follows:—ii. 13 to 15, $ 15 to 21; iii. 14 to 15, $ 15 to 23 
(usually 15 to 17); iv. <£ 14, $ 14 to 23 (usually 15 or 16); v. 13 or 
14, $ 15 to 22 (usually 15 or 16); vi. </ 15 or 16, $ 13 to 20; vii. </ 
12 or 13, $ 12 to 17 (usually 14 or 15). The dorsal subapical bristle 
of the seventh segment is much longer than the second hindtarsal 
segment. The bristles on the sternites are as follows:—ii. 2 in and $ ; 
iii. 6 or 7, $ 9 to 12 (usually 10); iv. J 1 6 to 8, $ 8 to 13; v. 6, 
$ 8 to 12; vi. 6 to 8, $ 8 to 12; vii. </ 6, $ 10 to 16, on this 
segment there being also one or more small hairs in front of the row. 
Legs. The forecoxa bears about 30 or 32 bristles. The apical 
sinus of the hindcoxa is rounded, the angle behind it being distinct. 
The comb of the hindcoxa consists of 5 to 9 spines. The forefemur has 
4 to 8 hairs on the outer surface, besides one subapical bristle. On the 
hindfemur there is on the inside a row of 5 to 9 bristles and on the 
outside 2 subapical bristles. The hincltibia bears on the outer 
surface 7 or 8, rarely 9, bristles, and two or three additional bristles 
between this row and the dorsal edge. The longest apical bristle of 
the hindtibia reaches to the subapical notch of the first tarsal segment. 
The second midtarsal segment is twice as long as the third. In the 
hindtarsus the fourth segment is twice as long again as it is broad. 
The longest apical bristle of the second segment extends to the 
middle of the fifth. The fifth segment is only slightly dilated towards 
the apex, bearing in the fore- and midtarsi three apical bristles on the 
ventral surface, the two lateral ones being short and stout in the £. 
In the hindtarsus this segment bears in both sexes two ventral apical 
bristles, one being short and the other long. The second hindtarsal 
segment is proportionately longer in the than in the $. The pro¬ 
portionate lengths of the segments are as follows:
