 •with black tubercle and irregular lateral blackish patches ; 

 tergites regularly marked, lateral margin black, with a yellow 

 stripe separating it from a broad black patch ; the median 

 keel marked with a very narrow black stripe which sometimes

 four times length of carapace, which equals its first and 

 second segments in length ; anterior segments granular above 

 and laterally ; fourth and fifth segments smooth above and 

 laterally ; superior and supero-lateral keels strongly developed, 

 granular, dentate posteriorly, except the supero-lateral on the 

 fourth segment ; segments 1 to 4 entirely smooth and polished 

 below, the median keels entirely obsolete, the lateral merely 

 represented by a low, indistinct, smooth ridge ; fifth segment 

 with its lower surface finely and closely granular throughout ; 

 vesicle entirely smooth and, like the lower side of the tail, 

 punctured.
