 band at the apex of the 4th abdominal segment, a lateral spot 

 on the 2nd and 4th, and a band on the 3rd ventral segment, 

 yellow ; the coxae, femora, and tibiae of the legs are also

 the pubescence thin and sparse. Black ; two spots above the 

 base of the antennae, the sides of the pronotum, a spot under 

 the base of the wings, the scutellum, two lateral spots on the 

 postscutellum, the posterior angles of the median segment, and 

 large oblong maculae on the sides of the basal four segments of 

 the abdomen, yellow ; the maculae on the 2nd segment have a 

 large black spot at their base below. Wings fusco-hyaline, with 

 a dark subapical cloud at the apex of the fore wing.
