 yellowish-brown pubescence ; the pubescence on the underside 

 light yellow, not so dense as on the upperside. The pubescence

 reddish yellow. The thorax itself is strongly arched, cylindrical, 

 narrowed anteriorly, the sides strongly curved outwards. The

 slightly broader at base, convex, ending posteriorly in two acute 

 spines ; very densely and finely punctured, clothed with long 

 pubescence ; marked with six blackish spots, of which two of 

 elongate shape are placed between the pronotal convexity and the 

 scutellum, two transversely in the middle, and two rounded ones 

 below these. Underside clothed with beautiful light yellow 

 pubescence, most densely between the breast and the abdominal 

 segments ; in the middle of the breast is a horseshoe-shaped mark 

 of red pubescence. Legs whitish on the outer side, yellow beneath,
