Dorsal setae short and stout, cylindrical or very slightly swollen at their apices; all are variously curved or bent, with several minute spiracles near the apex. Setae tend to be crowded into bands forming a very irregular reticulate pattern. Scattered on the dorsum are a few long, finely pointed, slender setae and some highly convex, strongly chitinized, small, tubercle-like pores (De Lotto, 1961a).
