Cerarii basically numbering 18 pairs, sometimes as few as 14 pairs discernible but number can vary between different sides of same specimen; all cerarian setae conical. Dorsal setae short and stiff, each 10–20 µm long. Multilocular disc pores present as far forward as abdominal segment V. Translucent pores present on hind coxa and tibia....... robustus (Ezzat & McConnell) - Cerarii numbering 11–15 pairs; all cerarian setae conical with a flagellate apex. Dorsal setae each thick and stiff, 17–65 µm long, with flagellate apex. Multilocular disc pores present only as forward as abdominal segment IV. Translucent pores present only on hind coxa, absent from or very rare on hind tibia.............................. tectonae Joshi, Bindu & Gullan
