and with scattered short appressed 3'ellowish pubescence and longer 

 black hairs, shoulders reddish, sides with black hairs, a tuft 

 of white hairs behind at base of wings. Breast covered with grey 

 tomentum and with white hairs. Scutellum similar to the thorax. 

 Abdomen reddish brown, blackish towards the apex, and with a 

 faint black median mark on the second segment, the segmentations 

 yellowish, with yellow pubescence which is scattered and on some 

 of the specimens is hardly visible, on the type it appears on the 

 median line, the pubescence of dorsum thick, black ; under side very 

 similar but appearing darker in the middle with grey tomentose 

 sides. Legs black, the fore tibiae at their base, the others wholly, 

 reddish yellow, pubescence on fore coxae and on posterior femora 

 white or yellowish white, on the others a few whitish hairs appear,

 clear, veins yellowish brown, stigma yellow. In the specimens 

 from Sumatra the black mark on the second segment is often not 

 visible.
