Remarks:

Te specimen is a typical representative of Polyxeninae , in that the terminal end of the specimen has ornamental fan-like sets of dorsal setae. Additionally, the shape of the hooked setae is characteristic of Polyxeninae (combshaped), and the caudal bundles are relatively widely medially separated into two sets ( Fig. 1B View Fig ).
