Head dark brown, covered with flat brown scales, which appear grey in some lights, and small curved scales around the eyes; antennee brown, white-banded, verticels brown, pubescence white; palpi brown and very short in both male and female; proboscis brown; clypeus brown; eyes dark brown. Prothoracic lobes brown; mesothorax brown, sometimes very dark, and covered with slender golden brown curved scales; scutellum as mesothorax, with six long marginal brown bristles on the mid, and three marginal bristles on the lateral lobes; pleura dark, with bunches of white scales; metanotum dark brown. Abdomen with brown scales and large white basal lateral spots on all but the eighth segment.
