lateral margins) clothed with dense, appressed, black pubescence, 
narrowly interrupted medially with a line of dense, appressed, 
ochraceous pubescence; fourth tergite like the third, except the 
black band is broadly interrupted by a spot of dense, appressed, 
ochraceous pubescence; fifth tergite clothed entirely with dense, 
appressed, ochraceous pubescence, except for a pair of obscure, 
small, lateral spots of black, appressed pubescence; ultimate 
tergite densely punctured, clothed with rather dense, erect, 
ochraceous pubescence, pygidial area punctate and pubescent; 
first sternite with a prominent, median, longitudinal carina; 
second sternite with large, elongate, contiguous punctures; 
apical margins of sternites 3-5 densely punctate; apical margins
