are the stout legs with short, robust tarsi and abundant setae. The strongly modified venter of the male abdomen may also play a role in courtship behavior (release of sex pheromones?). The flaps at the hind margin of the female segment V effectively seal the entrance to the fully retracted soft-cuticular ovipositor, a possible means to reduce water loss in dry periods. The long, soft ovipositor with short cerci suggests that oviposition takes place within some kind of decaying organic matter in which larval development takes place.
