 remainder brown, a lateral brown spot on each side of the silvery 

 anterior area. Abdomen brown, with basal white bands. Hind legs

 scales on its inner surface ; second joint muddy at its base, black 

 at the apex, clad with longish black scales ; remaining joints black, 

 pale at the nodes, verticillate hairs black ; silky white hairs on the 

 internodes. Palpi four-jointed ; the two first joints round and small ;
