Body generally dark brown or blackish above, beginning with the head and continuous to the last segment; the posterior fourth of the segments translucent amber through which a light spot is distinguish- able at the middle of the dorsum on the succeeding segment, surface between the spot and the posterior margin slightly lighter than the outer dorsal surface but not forming a distinct median light line or fascia; pore surrounded by a maculate area; ventral surface light; antennae with the five basal joints dark, the outer ones light; preanal scale and anal valves, except their raised margins, dark.
