197 fL long, medial setae conspicuously longer than other setae on segment.
Marginal setae usually about same length as on rest of dorsum. Small bilocular
pores scattered over surface. Discoidal pores circular, scattered over surface,
most abundant in marginal and submarginal areas.
Anal plates each with 4 or 5 setae; longest seta 27 fL long. Anal ring with 5 or
6 setae and 13 and 14 pores on each half. Apparent anal lobes each with 8 and
9 setae; longest seta 347 fL long.
Venter with small setae arranged in segmental rows, longest seta on abdomen,
excluding marginal ones, 17 fL long. Small bilocular pores scattered
over surface. Large bilocular pores usually on head, thorax, and anterior abdominal
segements. Discoidal pores circular, scattered over surface. Intrastigmatic
pores with 12-16 loculi, with 6 and 8 pores associated with each anterior
spiracle. Parastigmatic pores absent.
Legs with hind femora each with 6 and 8 setae; tibia +tarsus with 6 and 8
setae; tarsal and claw digitules with clubbed apices all about same size; femur
174 fL long; tibia+tarsus 234 and 240 fL long; femur length divided by
tibia+tarsus length 0.7. Antennae 3-segmented, 165 and 156 fL long; segment
