In front, it has a jagged black-brown median band. Ventrally, the area behind the pale yellow, uniformly colored epigaster is speckled. The sternum is black-brown with a light wedge spot at the front median. The coxae are brown, each with a lighter basal spot, while the rest of the legs are red-brown.
