Colour (Fig. 10). Head yellow, with large medial black fleck on posterior vertex. Fleck about as long as wide and not reaching to vertical furrows or frons. Large black patch, at least 5× as long as ocularium, surrounds stemmatum and extends above level of dorsal apex of frons. Trunk dorsally grey to supraspiracular line, paler below this except for grey ventral edges of subspiracular and surpedal lobes. Coxae basally ringed with black. Anal area including anal prolegs pale orange. Note: dark coxal markings only become conspicuous in last feeding instars.

Setae on lower frons and genae longer (as long as antenna) and paler. Right lobe of labrum only slightly larger than left.
Trunk. Prothorax with dorsal annulets clearly separated. Annulet 3 medially divided and lateral lobes slightly higher than lateral parts of 1 and 2.
