<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="25">Antenna of 17 articles, extending back to anterior part of T4 [posterior half of T3]. Basal 4-4.5 articles scattered with moderately long, pigmented setae; articles 5-10 with longer setae in a whorl around basal part of article, with short, dense setae prevalent; articles 11-17 densely covered with short setae.</paragraph>
|
|||
|
|
<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="25">Clypeal setae arranged as 2 (+2 small) + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 and transverse band of 8 prelabral setae in holotype; paratypes include 2 (+2 small) + 1 + 2 + 2 + 2.</paragraph>
|
|||
|
|
<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="25">Coxosternal margin biconvex, bearing a short marginal seta and variably a longer submarginal seta on each side. Coxosternum with relatively sparse, symmetrically arranged short setae, more pervasively scattered with minute setae. Tibia but not femur complete on outer side of forcipule.</paragraph>
|
|||
|
|
<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="25">Both rami of anterior transverse suture on T1 nearly straight, converging to a point medially from which a short median suture extends posteriorly, then branches into divergent sutures with gentle outward convexity. Paramedian sutures complete from TT2-20; sutures on T2 with posterior half more strongly divergent posteriorly than anterior half, more or less bell-shaped, from T3 posteriorly progressively more parallel. Oblique sutures on TT2-3[4]. Lateral crescentic sulci on TT3-19.</paragraph>
|

<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="25">Spiracles elongate oval in outline.</paragraph>
|
|||
|
|
<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="25">Sternites 2-19 with cruciform sulci. Endosternite on anterior segments without trigonal sutures.</paragraph>
|
|||
|
|
<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="25">Prefemur, femur and tibia on locomotory legs with strongly pigmented setae, many of those of tibia finer than on more proximal articles; tarsus with more slender, paler setae. Tarsal articulations distinct, mostly with negligible flexure on legs 1-18, flexed on legs 19-21 [all tarsi flexed in NHMW 10150]. Pretarsi of legs 1-20 with pair of long accessory spines, consistently more than half length of claw, up to 75% length of claw on some legs; accessory spines lacking on ultimate leg.</paragraph>
|
|||
|
|
<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="25">Tergite of ultimate leg-bearing segment with two straight sectors on posterior margin that converge medially to a blunt angle; shallow depression posteriorly. Sternite of ultimate leg-bearing segment with lateral margins gently convex outwards, posterior margin nearly straight or gently convex. Coxopleural pore field elongate oval, occupying anterior 75% of coxopleuron, pore-free margin with up to five fairly robust setae arranged as an anterior pair and a posterior row of three. All specimens with more than 30 coxal pores in area not concealed by sternite, ca 60 in highest count, a nearly complete pore field; pores variable in size; two or three short, robust setae and a few more tiny setae within pore field.</paragraph>
|
|||
|
|
<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="25">Ultimate leg of paratype (body length 25.8 mm) with prefemur 1.4 mm, femur 1.5 mm, tibia 0.9 mm, tarsus 1 0.5 mm, tarsus 2 0.65 mm, pretarsus 0.2 mm. Ultimate leg with distinctly densest and most robust, lanceolate setae on ventromedial parts of prefemur and femur, these articles sparsely setose dorsally. Saw teeth 1 + 6-7[8] + 3-4.</paragraph>
