Abdomen with brownish-black and testaceous ground colour ; 
in some specimens there is a narrow apical pale border to the 
segments, seen in certain lights; posterior segments mainly 
testaceous ; all the segments are covered and edged with long 
golden hairs, the end ones particularly so. 
Legs testaceous when denuded ; covered with brown scales 
above, dark yellowish below; tibiae and tarsi, except the last, 
with apical pale bands (in some, both sides of the joints are

tibia, and the first tarsal joint about half the length of the 
metatarsus ; in the fore and mid-legs the last two tarsal joints 
show little or no banding; ungues equal and simple.
