Remarks. Muma & Denmark (1962) pointed out the high variability in setal length, shape of ventrianal shield and leg macrosetae. However, these variations were not observed in this study. The measurements of the specimens examined in this study were similar to those reported by McMurtry (1983) for two type specimens, except StIV, approximately 1.3 times longer in the type specimens.
