 basal portion of all the femora, the hind tibiae in part, and the 

 proximal portion of the four posterior tarsi yellow or yellowish ; 

 front femora considerably thickened on the proximal portion, its 

 under border straight ; middle femora less thickened, the hind 

 femora rather slender. Wings nearly uniformly tinged with brown;
