Description
Malloch 1931 says, "This species is strikingly different from all the other NZ species in the group with four pairs of postsutural dorsocentral bristles, and two broad opaque black-brown vittae on the mesonotum which are divided by a paler central vitta. The lateral margins of mesonotum (are) densely greyish-white dusted. (The) upper third of frons velvety black and brown at anterior ocellus."[1]
