TABLE 1. Development of leg setation of Tyrphonothrus digeluensis sp. nov.

Leg I
Note: Roman letters refer to normal setae, Greek letters refer to solenidia (except ɛ—famulus). Single quotation mark (’) designates setae on the anterior and double quotation (”) setae on the posterior side of a given leg segment. Parentheses indicate addition of both members of a pseudosymmetrical pair. Juxtaposition of seta d with solenidion indicates coupling. Setae and solenidia are listed for the instar in which they first appear and should be presumed present for the remainder of ontogeny.
