to mesochaetae distally; externally with ordinary chaetae mixed with scales; dorsally, with dense clothing of subequal mesochaetae similar to those of manubrium; internally with basal rugose spine series (Figs 31, 32), the spines slightly inflated basally. Dental spines 4-5 in two irregular rows in the proximal part; 9-13 in one row in the distal part, variously arranged, usually asymmetrically (Fig. 26).
