 The sternum is pale yellow or almost white. The abdomen is lighter 

 beneath than above, and there is a less mottled central region, set off by 

 a row of indistinct dots on either side. The legs are pale yellow to 

 whitish. The femora, patellae and tibiae of all four pairs are marked in 

 front with a longitudinal stripe of black, which becomes nearly obliterated 

 on the metatarsi and tarsi. The corresponding joints of the legs of the 

 third and fourth pairs are similarly marked on the hind border also.

 being consideraiily narrower than the cephalothorax. The legs are more 

 hairy in appearance and the spines less conspicuous than in the female. 

 The colour markings are about the same in the two sexes.
