 pubescence ; the colour is also much lighter, the elytra and under side 

 are somewhat testaceous.

 by a thick, brush-like band of fulvous ones, pectus clothed with a 

 long, light fulvous pubescence, legs hairy, piceous-brown ; clypeus 

 slightly obtuse in the anterior part where it is broadly but not deeply
