becomes longer on the underside especially about the base, and on the 

 upper apices there are some long conspicuous black bristly hairs which 

 are directed apically ; front tibiae not dilated but curved as usually, the 

 blackish part slightly extending up to about the middle only along the 

 underside, and covered with tiny depressed black pubescence which 

 is sometimes very sparsely extending up to the base along the upper 

 side ; pubescence on the rest mostly very short depressed whitish, with 

 a silvery shimmer in a certain light, but on the brownish underside 

 suberect and reddish yellow ; pubescence on the middle tibiae short, 

 and mostly whitish with a silvery shimmer in a certain light, but on 

 the blackish apical part entirely black, the black pubescence extending 

 up to the base along the rather broad upper surface, with rather short 

 unequal blackish brown apical spurs ; pubescence on the hind tibiae 

 whitish, with a silvery shimmer in a certain light, but the innerside 

 almost always with black pubescence which is intermixed with some 

 pale hairs about the basal half, and on the upperside there are two 

 somewhat long black fringes of which the outer one is longer and 

 more conspicuous and sometimes is intermixed with white hairs on 

 the basal third or half, pubescence on the blackish part black ; tarsi 

 on the posterior two pairs usually slightly brownish and with reddish 

 orange soles ; pulvilli dull yellowish, and claws deep black. 



Abdomen broader than the thorax and longer than the head 

 and thorax (including the scutellum) together, gradually narrowed from 

 about the base to a blunt roundish apex, moderately convex above and 

 below. Dorsum blackish brown with the basal extremity greyish, with 

 three rows of the yellowish grey triangle spots of which the median 

 ones are continuous with one another but not occur on the seventh 

 segment, while the outer two are usually less conspicuous^ though two 

 pairs on the second and third segments large and more distinct, and 

 are oblique but gradually becomes less oblique and more faint towards 

 the apical segment on which they are hardly visible; the posterior 

 extremities of the segments very narrowly and inconspicuously pale
