Agonosoma flavolineata Laporte

Ostiole closer to metacoxal cavity than to lateral margin of metapleuron ( Fig. 3a ); ostiole elliptical, oriented ventrolaterally, visible inlateral view; lateraland posterior marginsof ostiolar plate elevated; peritreme groove-shaped, long, directed posterolaterally and apically curved anteriorly, parallel to surrounding pleuron ( Fig. 3b ), median furrow well developed; peritremal surface covered with smooth, flap-like microsculptures ( Fig. 3c ). Evaporatorium well developed on meso- and metapleuron; on metapleuron, evaporatorium covering most of the ostiolar plate and reachingbetweencoxal cavities, outermarginof metapleural evaporatorium convex and elevated; on mesopleuron, well developed on mesepimeron; evaporatorium with several minute sensilla ( Fig. 3d ); mushroom bodies irregular, alveoli with few trabeculae. Metathoracic spiracle wide; metapleural marginof spiraclewithseveral setae; processes of the filter system of irregular diameter, processes spiny ( Fig. 3e ).
