Coptochilus ferrugineus Amyot & Serville

Ostiole closer to metacoxal cavity than to lateral margin of metapleuron ( Fig. 8a ); ostiole guttiform, oriented ventrolaterally, visible in lateral view; lateral and posterior margins of ostiolar plate elevated; peritreme spout-shaped, directed laterally ( Fig. 8b ), median furrow well developed; peritremal surface with cylindrical microsculptures ( Fig. 8c ). Evaporatorium well developed on meso- and metapleuron; on metapleuron, evaporatorium covering most of ostiolar plate and reaching between coxal cavities, outer marginof metapleural evaporatorium convex; on mesopleuron, well developed on mesepimeron; evaporatorium punctate ( Fig. 8d ) and with several minute sensilla ( Fig. 8e ); mushroom bodies irregular, alveoli with several trabeculae. Metathoracicspiracle wide; metapleural margin of spiracle with several setae; processes of the filter system of regular diameter, processes spiny and connected to each other by few lateral expansions ( Fig. 8f ).
