Diagnosis.

On pronotum 1+1 ma, 2+2 la1, 3 and 2+2 lp1, 3, on meso- and metanotum without macrosetae (Figs 5 , 6 ); one dorsal femoral macrosetae and one sternal tibial macrosetae; unequal claws in size with lateral-crests (Figs 11-13 ); thick setiform pretarsal lateral processes covered with long barbs except in the final part (Figs 11-14 ); male and female have thin subcylindrical appendages that carry glandular a1 setae (Figs 15 , 16 , 18 ); the male has a large field of glandular g1 setae in the slightly expanded posterior urosternite border (Fig. 16 ); the female is without this glandular field (Figs 15 , 18 ). There are up to 1+1 la and 5+5 post macrosetae on IV-VII urotergites; 11+11-10+10 macrosetae on urosternites I-VII and 2+2 macrosetae on VIII (Figs 15-17 , 19 , 20 ).
