Secondary rhinaria present on segments III−V, covering usually 1/3−2/3 circumference of the segments from the ventral side.

Secondary rhinaria present on segments III−V, covering usually 1/2−3/4 circumference of the segments from the ventral side. Ultimate rostral segment 0.12−0.17 (0.15) mm long, 0.73−0.84 (0.80) times as long as the second segment of hind tarsus ( Figure 8C ). Hind femorotrochanter 0.57−0.70 (0.64) mm long, hind tibia 0.78−1.01 (0.89) mm long. Second segment of hind tarsus 0.17−0.20 (0.18) mm long ( Figure 8F ). First tarsal chaetotaxy 3:2:2. Wax gland plates on marginal abdomen with two types of facets, larger ones of which are present in the center of plate, and small ones present peripherally ( Figure 8I, L ).
