Legs: femora I and II spotted medium brown under yellow background; femur III as shown in Fig. 4 D; tibiae I uniformly light brown, tibiae II with unconspicuous brown bands (darker in more pilose areas), basitarsus I and II yellowish near the apex, tibiae III medium brown dorsally with yellow spots and uniformly brown ventrally, basitarsus medium brown. Abdomen: dorsal surface mostly dark brown, darker on tergites not covered by wings, becoming brown and yellow spotted distally; supra-anal plate elongate, posterior edge rounded; subgenital plate wider at the proximal third, posterior margin slightly concave (Fig. 01J), ventral surface medium brown laterally, with a median yellowish band; cerci light to medium brown.
