Specimens from Rodrigues, body length 13 mm, have anterior margin of coxosternite as in Fig. 76, coxopleural pores 7-11, ultimate leg with 6-7 tibial and 3-4 tarsal saw teeth. One of the three specimens had a very narrow median longitudinal glabrous area on the ultimate pretarsus. Pretarsal accessory spur 50% the length of the pretarsus (Fig. 77).

The setae are likely to increase in length and number with the size of the individual and different growth pattern of different populations may lead to such differences: individuals reach a relatively large size in the Sudanese population with concomitant increase in the number of coxopleural pores.
