Head red, lower rnouth-parts yellowish ; occiput reddish yellow, 

 obscurely spotted ; thorax and abdomen ochreous-yellow (perhaps 

 reddish when living) ; thorax with a hexagonal figure bisected by the 

 median line ; and from the three angles on each side, formed by the 

 boundary lines, run similar narrow black lines, which are crossed by 

 the narrow black sutural lines ; abdomen with obscure blackish 

 submarginal lines on its hinder portion ; appendages moderate, 

 recurved, and rather acutely pointed ; legs black and ochreous ;

 reddish ; pterostigma rather large, reddish, edged with black lines ;
