Composed usually of dense setae, occasionally of several distinct lengths. In most eucoiline genera, the hairy ring is ‘complete’, i.e. the setae extend from the dorsal to the ventral ends of the third abdominal terga (Fig. 3F). In a few genera the setal pattern is either highly reduced or lacking (e.g. Gronotoma).
