whitish pubescence which is intermixed with no black bristles ; hind 

 femora as in the middle pair but the pubescence much longer ; front 

 tibiae somewhat darken towards the apex, clothed with numerous but 

 not dense short black bristly hairs about the apical half, and bearing 

 short whitish hairs on the rest, the black bristles extending towards 

 the base along the upper side only ; middle tibiae paler than the front 

 pair, furnished with numerous depressed short whitish pubescence which 

 is intermixed with a few longer black bristles on the upper side, and 

 bearing two rather long brownish black-tipped unequal spurs ; hind 

 tibiae in colour as in the middle pair, covered with short whitish hairs 

 all over, which become longer and suberect on the upper and lower 

 margins and there are some much conspicuous black bristles on the upper 

 side ; tarsi pale yellowish brown but the front tarsi conspicuously darker, 

 all the tarsi darken at the tip ; claws shining black ; pulvilli pale 

 yellowish grey. In some specimens the coxae, the apices of the tibiae 

 and the basal parts of the femora blackish grey. 



Abdomen slightly longer than the head and thorax (including 

 the scutellum) together, and somewhat wider than the thorax at the 

 base, but gradually narrowed to the blunt apex ; dorsum pale dull 

 orange with a broad blackish median stripe from the base to the apex, 

 this median stripe being separated into two stripes by a greyish 

 tomentose stripe composed of the triangular spots on the segments ; 

 these two blackish stripes almost always inconspicuous on the finst two 

 segments ; apical four or three segments or rarely two blackish, this 

 black colour usually extending to the third segment along near the 

 sides ; pubescence on the dorsum short, dense, depressed and whitish 

 yellow, intermixed with a few short inconspicuous black hairs which. 

 become more conspicuous towards the apex (these black hairs some- 

 times do not appear) ; ventre greyish yellow or sometimes blackish 

 grey towards the apex, dusted with a yellowish grey tomentum, and 

 clothed with abundant very short greyish yellow pubescence all over, 

 no black hairs except on the last segment.
