Metanotum

Pronotum broader than meso and metanotum, mesonotum compressed laterally, metanotum without spines or teeth.

Mesosoma about as wide as head width; mesoscutum 1.5x wider than long, 2.4x longer than mesoscutellum, 4.2x longer than metanotum; propodeum with basal part about 0.9x mesoscutellum length in dorsal view; protibial spur with apical portion of rachis long, about as long as malus, with four elongate branches (not including apical portion of rachis); mesotibial spur straight, with coarse branches, 0.8x mesobasitarsus length; metatibial spurs about the same length, curved apically; pretarsal claws with inner ramus slightly shorter than the outer.

Scutellum angled in profile, metanotum vertical in profile (Fig.

Mesonotum sculptured with transverse striae, median pair of setae situated on the posterior margin; metanotum sculptured with longitudinal line laterally, median part with inversus U shaped striae.

Rear margin of metanotum almost straight, hardly at all emarginate in midline.

The genus Acerentuloides is characterized by 2 pairs of A-setae on the mesonotum and metanotum; 3 setae on the 2nd and 3rd pair of abdominal legs, of which the apical median seta is minute; well developed labial palpus with terminal tuft of setae and broadened sensillum; maxillary gland with small, smooth, globular vesicle or granulated appendix on the calyx and with several small globules in distal part; some setae modified as short, thickened sensilla (sd5 on head; [beta]1 and [delta]4 on foretarsus; setae P4 on metanotum, M2 on prosternum, and A2 on thoracic sterna; and accessory setae on tergites and sternites I--VI); 6 setae on sternite VIII; anterior position of seta P3 on abdominal tergites II--VI; developed striate band with clearly visible parallel-sided striae.

Metanotum in dorsal view laterally crenulated with mid carina well developed (Figure 2e).

These organs begin to appear after one or two molts, as expansions of lateral -posterior edge of meso and metanotum. These wing buds, after being extended, they are turned with their underside and consequently wings partially covering the elytra [9].

Tegmina and wings represented by well-veined lateral pads: mesonotum and metanotum with a distinct medial carination.

Metanotum and propodeum medially with a raised foamy whitish structure which in dorsal view is 1.2x as wide as long, slightly less than half as wide as scutellum (6:13), and as long.
