Black, yellow white are: ventral side of head, spots on dorsal side of throrax, deflexed lateral sides of all tergites, sternites; tergites 4–8 rubiginous; metacoxa, metatrochanter, basal 1/5 of metafemur and greater part of metatarsi yellow white; small spots on middle part of labrum and clypeus, anterior margins of clypeus dark brown; band on outer side of metacoxa, inner part on apical half of metafemur, extreme apex of metatibia black; apcial 4/5 of metafemur and metatibia except extreme apex red brown; labrum large with truncated anterior margin; median fovea ditch-like, deeply reaching median ocellus; antennae equal to combined length of thorax and abdomen, flagellomere 1 equal to flagellomere 2; punctures on dorsal part of head dense, a little large and shallow; punctures on upper part of mesepisternum the same as on head, on lower part minute and shallow. Lancet with 21 annuli (Fig. 39), middle serrula with 2 anterior and 9–11 posterior sub-basal teeth (fig. 51).
