Structure: Adult female pubescent, slightly farinose, very convex behind, narrowed and depressed in front; segmentation strongly pronounced; sides between the marginal and submarginal patches of wax steep and irregularly concave. Pubescens fulvous, densest and longest at the margins, more especially so at the two extremities. The narrow margin is clothed with short, white, granular wax, more or less continuous; and there are contiguous patches of the same kind of white wax forming a median (abdominal) and a submedian, longitudinal band, which show up very distinctly against the dark ground (Newstead, 1908c).
