 at each end and a spot on base of scutellum at meson are also black; also the apex of each 

 parapside is more broadly black and more than half of each axilla. The black markings

 not extend to the first groove. Scape dusky at distal half, pedicel so above at base; rest of 

 antenna dusky; funiele joints subqnadrate, subequal, each somewhat shorter than the pedicel.
