. + It was found during the investigation that the chaetotaxy and shape of the claws of legs II and III afford very good distinguishing specific features. Especially the femoral chaetotaxy of leg II can be used for specific separation. Prom this point of view, the re-examination of all species seems to be advisable; in the present study and descriptions, I submit the respective details (and figures) in every case. + + In the followings: USHM +++ 'Inthe followings: HHHM
