Hairlike setae scattered in medial areas of thorax. Dorsal wax plates interrupted in middle of bands, cover the surface. Hairlike setae present in marginal clusters near posterior edges of marginal wax plates and near anterolateral and anteromedial edge of each dorsomedial wax plate (Kozár & Konczné Benedicty, 2001).
