some segments forming almost bands and with pure white large 
lateral spots, basal segment ochreous with two black patches of 
scales; venter much expanded apically in a downward direction, 
black scaled, the penultimate segment with a basal creamy band, 
third segment with creamy and dark scales, rest mostly ochreous ; 
border-bristles pallid. 
Legs—coxae, trochanters and base of femora pale ochreous 
with some shiny scales ; fore femora brown with a long area of 
pale scales ending in a creamy apical spot; fore tibia dark, a few 
pale apical scales with short dark thorn-like chaetae and a row 
of long brown chaetae (6 ?); base of metatarsi and first tarsal 
creamy-white; mid legs, femora black, no white apical spot; 
tibiae with a long line of yellow scales going nearly the whole 
length of the segment ; metatarsal and tarsal bands more 
pronounced; hind femora snowy-white at apex ; tibiae with a 
shorter yellow scaled area towards the apex, small tibial spines

slightly narrower than the second, its base nearer the base of the 
wing, its stem less than one-third the length of the cell ; stem of 
the second fork-cell about two-thirds the length of the cell; 
posterior cross-vein about its own length distant from the mid.
