 veins pale; legs pale yellow, femora with inconspicuous brown dots above 

 and below; sterna black, ventrals dull yellow, their sides with brown or 

 blackish margins. Joint 1 of antennae pale, two-fifths longer than width 

 of vertex; 2 — 4 black, 2 slightly shorter than length of head and prono- 

 tum united, 3 twice as long as 4. Pronotum twice as wide at base as
