Golden brown with white tomentose stripes; tegmina smoky- 

 hyaline with broad, clear band across centers and with bases brown ;

Head wider than long, rugose, brown with white tomentose 

 patches, finely and closely punctate, densely pubescent; base sinuate ; 

 eyes brown, reflexed ; ocelli prominent, brown, farther from each 

 other than from the eyes and situated above a line passing through
