Legs green, with brownish tips. Prolegs concolorous, with body. Cervical shield depressed and covered with minute spicules. Body completely covered with short stout vibrissae. The ma- jority of these are frosted white, and turn over so as to lie flat along the body surface. Interspersed between these are a few shorter spicules of a light brown color, standing upright. On the first and second segments the short brown spicules predominate, and there are also a few long curling hairs on the outer margin of the first segment. Head brown, shading to black on the outer margin. Glabella edged with white. Ocelli, black. Antennae white, shading to brown on the tips.
