... that leads to a question about acrostichals and dorso-centrals and about the dusting and setae on some of the pleurites. The photo here shows the dorsal thorax. The choice is between 6 or more rows of acrostichals and 1 pair of dorsocentrals versus 4 or less rows of acrostichals and 3 pairs of dorsocentrals. It is quite hard to see the setae against the fine setulae, but I think the latter is the better fit, ie 4 rows of acros and 3 pairs of dcs.
