The general color is brown. The eye-region, clypeus and

this a scattering of long black hairs. The legs are brown with 
short yellow hairs and black spines. The first leg has a very 
heavy black fringe on the tibia, a shorter, thinner fringe on 
the femur, and a still slighter one on the patella. The pal¬

yellow metallic hairs on the sides and a wide longitudinal black 
band down the middle.
