Legs pale yellow; the coxse, especially the posterior some- what darkened, hind femora a little brownish, hind tibiae and tarsi brown, the tibiae paler towards the base, anterior tarsi brownish^ pale at the base. Hind tibiae somewhat thickened towards the apex\ and the metatarsi slightly thickened. The legs are densely and longish haired, especially above and below, the hairs below the femora are vertically erect; the middle femora have some bristles on the antero- dorsal side, the middle tibiae two rows of long bristles on the dorsal.
