Tiridates rubrocinctus (Herrich-Schäffer)

Ostioleinthemiddleof metapleuron ( Fig. 23a ); ostiole round, oriented ventrolaterally, visible in lateral view; lateral and posterior margins of ostiolar plate leveled with remaining of metapleuron; peritreme spout-shaped, directed laterally ( Fig. 23b ), median furrow developed basally; peritremal surface with spike-like microsculptures ( Fig. 23c ). Evaporatorium well developed on meso- and metapleuron; on metapleuron, evaporatorium completely covering ostiolar plate and reaching between coxal cavities, outer marginof metapleural evaporatorium convex; on mesopleuron, well developed on mesepimeron; evaporatorium punctate ( Fig. 23d ); mushroom bodies irregular, alveoli with several trabeculae. Metathoracic spiracle narrow; processes of the filter system of regular diameter, processes spiny ( Fig. 23e ).
