Adult (Fig. 7) Pronotum dark grey (8A9) with a darker mid-dorsal line; femur and tibia of prothoracic leg mostly shiny black (48L7) but, variably, a paler patch beside the femoral teeth laterally and at the proximal end of tibia; coxa pale, with a dark line running the length of its anterior surface; meso- and metathoracic legs pale tan (10B3); abdomen yellow (9J2), marked with black (48L7), a broad black line down the venter, a black line laterally intersecting the spiracles although area directly around spiracles yellow, a black.
