You may find two rows of setae that are larger than the other setae on the dorsal part of the mesonotum, one on each side of the mid line. These are the dorsocentral setae (dc). Between those two rows may be any number of smaller setae (ranging from 0 to > 20) and these are the acrostichal setae (ac). Please note that these latter setae may not form distinct rows and that dc setae may be all together absent as well.
