Some posterolateral setae of legs I-II, I\' and antero- lateral setae of legs III-IV rather long, usually recurved. Distal dorsal setae of trochanters II- IV, femora I-IV, patella I-IV, tibiae III-IV, and one to several proximal setae of tarsi I-IV rather long; anterodorsal seta of each femur I-IV and posterodorsal seta of femur III minute; other dorsal leg setae small to medium sized. Gnathosoma: gnathosomal and median hypostomal setae small; lateral and distal hypo- stomal setae absent or inapparent. Most palpal setae small; mediodorsal seta of palpal femur and medioventral seta of tibia short, spinelike; two pairs of laterodistal setae of palpal tibia short, peglike.

Sternal setae length, 13-16 /t; metasternal setae length, 16-18 n; genital setae length, 10-13 /(; length first pair setae behind genital plate, 7 /x; length two pairs inflated setae posterior to genital plate, /i; length posterior ventral opistho- somal setae, 9-21 /i. Peritreme length, 254 //,. Dorsal plate length, 379 /i; greatest width, 281 /... Dorsal podosomal setae length, 6-18 /t; dorsal opisthosomal setae length, 6-9 /i. Length of legs (base of trochanter to end of tarsus): Leg I, 281 /x; leg II, 294 /.; leg III, 242 /i; leg IV, 266 /... Male: (Allotype) (Fig. 44-45), Venter: Holoventral plate broadly spade shaped; four pairs of sternal setae and genital setae on plate; all located marginally except third sternal setae which are mediad and
