   villose

  as 
  

   long

  the 
  prothorax

  with 
  the 
  greyish- 
  

   white 
  ones 
  more 
  numerous, 
  and 
  they 
  have 
  a 
  marginal 
  band 
  of 
  

   small 
  white 
  scales, 
  which 
  cannot 
  be 
  said 
  to 
  be 
  dense, 
  along 
  the 
  

   outer 
  margin, 
  and 
  forming 
  a 
  more 
  distinct 
  band 
  along 
  the

  distinct 
  bunch 
  of
