 covered with thick pubescene and emarginate scales ; stalks 

 light without scales. 



Abdomen, basal area of each segment light, covered spar- 

 ingly with long, light hairs ; two stiff hairs on posterior mar- 

 gin of distal segment, stout hairs on margin of genital lobes. 



Legs, coxa and trochanter light ; trochanters, femora, tibiae 

 and tarsi covered with short, dark, emarginate scales and
