 a narrow inconspicuous yellowish median stripe and more indistinct 

 similar coloured segmentations, the former extending from the first

 depressed, and black, but on the stripe and segmentations there are 

 abundant similar but pale yellowish hairs, and at the sides there are 

 slightly longer and more erect paler yellowish hairs intermixed ; the 

 apical segment slightly darkened ; belly paler than the dorsum and 

 more or less obscured by an ashy grey tomentum espically on the

 hairs intermixed.
