segment; mandible white with apical 1/4 dark brown; head white 
with black or blackish markings as follows: narrow apical margin 
of clypeus; rather broad ventral margin of anterior 1/2 of malar

anterior tentorial pit; narrow median line on about upper 1/3 of

white; thoracic dorsum black with white on a large callus-like area 
on lateral lobe of mesoscutum above tegula, on prescutellar ridges 
and broad lateral and very broad apical margins of scutellum, on 
post-scutellum, and on apical rims of meso and metanotal axillary
