Head, thorax, and abdomen ventrally brown with bright pattern as in Fig. 46c View Figure 46 . Femur ecru with distomedial brown spot, apex with brown spot, tibia and tarsus light brown. Caudalii light brown, with a brown band at ca. 1/3 of cerci.

Dorsally with medium, fine, simple setae scattered over surface; submarginal arc of setae composed of one plus four or five long, simple setae, the first two setae after the submedian seta are close together. Ventrally with marginal row of setae composed of lateral and anterolateral long, feathered setae and medial long, bifid, pectinate setae; ventral surface with ca. five short, spine-like setae near lateral and anterolateral margin.

Right mandible (Fig. 9b, c View Figure 9 ). Incisor and kinetodontium fused. Incisor with four denticles; kinetodontium with three denticles, inner margin of innermost denticle with a row of thin setae. Prostheca robust, apically denticulate. Margin between prostheca and mola with a pronounced hump. Tuft of setae at apex of mola present and many thin setae distally at base of mola.

Left mandible (Fig. 9d, e View Figure 9 ). Incisor and kinetodontium fused. Incisor with three denticles; kinetodontium with three denticles. Prostheca robust, apically with small denticles and comb-shaped structure. Margin between prostheca and mola convex. Subtriangular process long and slender, above level of area between prostheca and mola. Denticles of mola apically constricted. Tuft of setae at apex of mola present.

Both mandibles with lateral margins almost straight. Basal half with fine, simple setae scattered over dorsal surface.

Hypopharynx and superlinguae (Figs 9f View Figure 9 , 47d View Figure 47 ). Lingua approx. as long as superlinguae. Lingua approx. as broad as long; medial tuft of stout setae well developed, short; distal half not expanded. Superlinguae distally rounded; lateral margin angulate; fine, long, simple setae along distal margin.

Maxilla (Fig. 9g View Figure 9 ). Galea-lacinia ventrally with two simple, apical setae under canines. Inner dorsal row of setae with three denti-setae, distal denti-seta tooth-like, middle and proximal denti-setae slender, bifid and pectinate. Medially with one bipectinate, spine-like seta and three or four medium to long, simple setae. Maxillary palp 1.4 × as long as length of galea-lacinia; 2-segmented; palp segment II 1.8 × length of segment I; setae on maxillary palp fine, simple, scattered over surface of segments I and II; apex of last segment slightly pointed, without excavation at inner distolateral margin.

Labium (Fig. 9h View Figure 9 ). Glossa basally broad, narrowing toward apex; shorter than paraglossa; inner margin with ca. seven short, stout, spine-like setae plus distalmost one much longer, less robust, spine-like seta; apex with two long and one medium, robust, pectinate setae and one short, robust seta; outer margin with four spine-like setae increasing in length distally; ventral surface with fine, simple, scattered setae. Paraglossa sub-rectangular, curved inward; apex rounded; with three rows of long, robust, distally pectinate setae in apical area and a row of three medium, simple setae in anteromedial area; outer margin with some long, spine-like setae; dorsally with a row of five long, spine-like, simple setae near inner margin. Labial palp with segment I 0.7 × length of segments II and III combined. Segment I ventrally with short, fine, simple setae. Segment II with thumb-like distomedial protuberance; distomedial protuberance 0.6 × width of base of segment III; ventral surface with short, fine, simple setae; dorsally with a row of six short to medium, spine-like, simple setae near outer margin. Segment III conical; apex rounded; length 1.2 × width; ventrally covered with short, spine-like, simple setae and short, fine, simple setae.

Dorsal margin with ca. ten curved, spine-like setae, proximally and medially a partial second row of spine-like setae near margin; length of setae 0.18 × maximum width of femur. Apex rounded, with a pair of spine-like setae and some short, stout setae. Many stout, lanceolate setae scattered along ventral margin; femoral patch absent. Tibia. Dorsal margin with a row of short to medium, spine-like setae, on apex two longer, spine-like setae. Ventral margin with a row of medium, curved, spine-like setae, distally of patellotibial suture one long, curved, spine-like seta, on apex some longer, partly bipectinate, spine-like setae and a tuft of fine, simple setae.
