 both borders, with a triangular projection in the centre of 

 the anterior border. Forehead brown, covered with grey 

 tomentum ; the paired spots large, black, not reaching the 

 eyes, the unpaired spot small, brownish ; the sides with 

 yellowish tomentum. Thorax, scutcllum, and abdomen of a 

 uniform sandy-yellowish colour, the dark ground-colour
