luteous streak with a little longitudinal luteous line on each side of it;

Thorax with a transverse undulating luteous line which diverges on each 
side to the border near the hind angle, where it is joined by a luteous 
marginal line. Scutellum luteous along each side; tip hardly excavated. 
Abdomen luteous above; under side with very short transverse luteous 
streaks along each side. Var. 6.—Head with the first line very broad,
