sally on the overcurved peritremal
shield, p 2
can have short hairs
medially. On opisthonotum, 21
pairs of smooth setae: I-row wih 5
pairs, Z-row with 5 pairs, S-row
with 4 pairs, R-row with 7 pairs.
Setae I 5
absent. Setae I 4
, I 6
, Z 4-5
and S 2-4
differently elongated,
tapering, reaching beyond the
margin of opisthonotum. Setae S 4
– as the longest opisthonotal setae
– 7 times longer than short setae
(e. g. I 1
). Setae I 4
situated very
close to each other, at the same
time the distance between insertions
of seate I 6
quite long and can
reach 90 µm. None of I-setae reaching
the followings bases.
Dorsal cavities situated in a row
tightly close to each other,
strongly sclerotized, with smooth
anterior- and lobed posterior margin,
the lateral pair slightly bigger
than the medial pair. Dorsal shields
very slightly sclerotized,
bearing some small, irregular pits.
Measurements of setae and longitudinal distances between their bases as in Table 1.
