 fuscous color of the head, with darker band and semi-annular rings; many short stiff 

 hairs on the front of the femora and tibia. 



Abdomen broadly elliptical ; small as compared with the large head and thorax ; 

 a few short stiff spines in the posterior angle of the segments with a long hair in 

 angles of segments 2-8. A series of long stiff hairs on the posterior margin of each 

 segment ; each segment with a pale transverse band, darkening on the posterior 

 margin and the lateral margin interrupted by a narrow uncolored submarginal band 

 parallel with the lateral margins of the abdomen ; last segment broadly rounding, 

 without dark markings, with two long hairs and a short spine on the lateral margin ; 

 genitalia dark brown, extending forward into segment 5 and showing through the 

 body distinctly.
