$ . Head brown, clothed with rather large flat dull brown 

 scales at the sides, dull pale violet and blue in the middle and 

 a few pale ones around the border of the eyes, two long dark 

 parallel chaetae project forward between the eyes and some 

 smaller ones project inwards along the orbital margin. Clypeus 

 rather long, bright brown ; palpi and proboscis deep brown, with 

 dull metallic violet reflections; antennae brown, with bright 

 brown basal segment, densely pilose. 



Thorax deep brown, with very large flat elongate dusky black 

 scales irregularly arranged, a few pale creamy ones in front near 

 the head, those on the scutellum the same colour; prothoracic 

 lobes with smaller but similar coloured scales and some pale 

 apical ones and black chaetae ; metanotum black, chaetae with 

 pallid reflections ; pleurae ochreous in front and above, darker 

 below with flat silvery white and creamy scales. 



Abdomen deep black, with dull metallic violet reflections, on 

 each side of all the segments a pale creamy spot extending the 

 whole length of the segments, thus forming a continuous nearly 

 straight pale lateral line ; venter also pale creamy except at the 

 base where it is white. 



Legs brown, with metallic violet and bronzy reflections, the 

 fore legs unicolorous, the mid with some snowy-white on the first 

 and second tarsals and a white spot at the junction of the 

 first and second tarsals ; hind legs deep brown above, except on 

 the last two tarsals, the whole of the under side pure silvery 

 white, so that the leg in some lights and directions looks all 

 silvery white. Fore and mid ungues slightly unequal, simple ; 

 hind equal and simple.
