 with three to four spines on the proximal half of the anterior margin 

 beneath, with close set minute spines in the distal half, mid- and

 posterior margin, apical spines on both margins on all the femora, 

 all the genicular spines present. Posterior metatarsus much longer

 gined with spines.

This species falls into the same group that includes 

 U. pcqma, Sss., J^. Imvicvllis, Sss., U. 2Mncticollis, Wlk., K 

 plena, Wlk., etc. Its coloration alone ought to render it 

 easy of recognition.
