: Cuticle overall quite dark with specimens becoming very dark when placed into alcohol. The intensity of darkness makes it difficult to observe macrochaetae insertions in some places. Some variability in darkness noted between specimens. Flagellum of antennae without banding, moderate orange-brown pigment evenly distributed; pedicel and scape with pigment distally. Frons overall slightly dark, labrum and clypeus without pigment, mandibles and maxillae overall slightly pigmented but without strong pigment among bushes of macrochaetae, maxillary and labial palps with stronger brown pigment, the distal article of the maxillary palp overall with medium brown pigment, penultimate and third articles with moderate pigment overall but darkest distally, second article also with moderate pigment but lighter at base. Labial palp ultimate and penultimate articles with quite dark pigment, especially around edges. Nota and thoracic sterna without obvious pigment. Shoulder of the coxa darker but not along the outer margin. Trochanter with pigment along outer margin more pronounced at each end. Femora fairly evenly well pigmented, darker at the anterior distal corners. Tibia darkly pigmented overall, except for apical spur. First tarsal article with more pigment distally, distal article with some light orange pigment apically. Abdominal segments progressively darker towards posterior end (sclerotised or pigment?); coxites VIII and IX quite dark. Ovipositor a little pigmented distally. Cerci and median filament annulated, mostly dark divisions except for first annulus which is light in colouring and apex of distal division distad of the ring of macrochaetae. Abdominal styli darker in distal half becoming more intense distally, styli VIII the same or sometimes with much less pigment.
