General color, dull brown; darker anteriorly. Head small, very 

 shining, with two black streaks in front. There is but a faint indication 

 of a pattern upon the segments dorsally, the whole of the markings being

 including the legs, is pale testaceous.

 a waved double line of pale brown. Below this again is a pale fawn-
