Diagnosis.
This species differs from Kryptopyga pendulosa by the less modified abdomen: tergite 4 is not perpendicular to tergite 3 and sternite 4 is well visible in ventral view.

Tergites blackish, except terigte 1 yellowish brown and other tergites narrowly yellowish brown along margins; short black pilose, except longer yellowish pilose along lateral margins of all tergites and posterolateral margins of tergites 3-4.
