enclosed by them. Two vertical edges (clavus) departing from clypeus dorsalis are semicircular. The head is slightly broader than its length (caput transversum). Gena dorsalis is well separated and somewhat less pigmented than the other parts of the head. Fossa clypealis is a longitudinal shallow ditch. The temple region bears four large, extending setae (chaeta) and several small setae among them. Sulcus temporalis is well visible. Dorso-clypeus is separated by a slight outline. There are two sickle-shaped, brown-pigmented ornamentations in the central region of the head with two oval patterns joining them laterally by a line. Two elongated setae and two shorter ones are visible on the preocular region. The occipital region is decorated by a horizontal pigmented band delineated by a fluctuating, convex and concave outline. There are 3 pairs of occipital setae (seta occipitalis) on it. The short, four-segmented, knobbed antennae (antenna subclavata) and the maxillary palps (palpus maxillaris) are visible from the ventral view, they do not exceed the outline of the head. Thorax: Prothorax slightly separated, mesothorax and metathorax fused but separated by a pale suture. Prothorax and metathorax reverse trapezoid shaped. The shortest edge of this trapezoid dark-pigmented, joining to the oblique lateral edges by dark circular patches. Metathorax has the darkest pigmentation, somewhat 'trough-shaped', widest at the posterior edge. It is laterally edged by dark bars. The posterior edge of the metathorax bears a row of setae, the length of which is about the length of an abdomen segment. The number of these setae is variable. Limbs: All the three pairs of limbs are light and ornamented by a narrow brown bar (stria) on the femur and tibia, which is more emphasised on the dorsal side. The following pattern of setae can be observed from a dorsal view. The femur of the forelimb (femur pedis anterioris) bears two long and some smaller setae (seta femoralis). There are small setae visible on the tibia. The second pair of limbs (pes medialis) bear a dense group of setae at the joining of the femur and tibia. There are two longer and two shorter setae on the tibia. The tibia of the hindlimb (pes posterior) bears four longer and two shorter setae. The longer setae are approximately as long as the shorter setae of the abdomen. The hindlimb is only slightly longer than the first and second pair of limbs. Abdomen: The abdomen is longer and broader than the head. Segments 7 to 9 (segmentum abdominale septum, octavum et nonum) are somewhat narrower than the head. Segments 1 to 5 are increasingly broader, the 5th segment (segmentum abdominale quintum) is the broadest one. The peripygium is rounded. There is a longitudinal edge along the lateral margin of each abdominal tergite. Tergites join to pleurites by their apexes, here the setae are situated more closely. There is one row of setae on the 1st abdominal tergite and two rows of setae on the other tergites. The setae on the posterior margin of tergites are approximately as long as the segments. There are shorter setae on the anterior part of the tergites, their number is variable, but higher than that of the long setae. There is a long lateral seta on each tergite, with dense smaller setae situated dorsally. The number of these small setae is decreasing on the 7th-9th abdominal tergites. The lateral setae on the 7th and 8th abdominal tergites are particularly long. The lateral setae are also long on the 9th tergite and enclose a dense row of short setae. On the ventral side of the abdomen (pars abdominalis ventralis) the sternites are laterally edged by a dark, pigmented band, this band is at least twice as broad as those on the edge of the tergites. The sternite of the tylus is extended laterally. It bears a ventral anal fringe with the longest setae situated laterally. The female genitalia are straight with a broader end posteriorly.
