from the trochanter. The trochanter is also hairless (Figs 1-3). Three pairs of coxal solenidia are found on the coxae, directed forward and downward. The first pair is in the middle of the first coxae, the second is at the inner corner of the coxae and the third is in the middle of the posterior coxae. The genital region is situated behind the coxal joints of the second pair of legs. The semicircular epigynium of the female is slightly striped lengthwise. The genital solenidia originate on well-developed warts, at the backline of the genital region and pointing backward (Fig. 3). One pair of lateral setae are on the side of the body, above the genitalia. They lack the first pair of dorsal setae and the accesso­ry tail-setae (Fig. 1). Despite the literature, males were not separable respectively visible from the 1200 prepared individuals, so further research is needed for identifying males.
