Taxonomic remarks

Antennae with 28 and 29 antennomeres in adults and 28 in one juvenile. Cupuliform organ with eight complex olfatory chemoreceptor sensilla characterized by a cylindrical central structure without noticeable pores, surrounded by one concentric fold ( Figs 18–19 ). Gouge sensilla long (25 µm), with a tip on the end ( Fig. 20 ). Frontal process with a frontal and lateral rim ( Fig. 21 ). The shortness of their telotarsal processes and the shape of the claws are confirmed ( Figs 23–24 ). The urosternites of male and female were mentioned in the original description but no drawings were produced. In the first urosternite of both males and females there are no g 1 -glandular setae and the appendages support up to 54 a 1 -glandular setae in males and up to nine in females ( Figs 24–25 ).
