T2 parallel sided, about 2.5 times as wide as long, with longer pilosity at anterior corners, anterolateral and dorsomedial sections raised somewhat, with grooves between these sections; with white pollinosity from the anterior margin to the grooves, posteromedial section without pollinosity.

T4 parallel sided anteriorly, rounded posteriorly, about as long as wide, evenly rounded dorsally, without grooves; with a transverse vitta of white pollinosity on the anterior margin and diagonal vittae of white pollinosity from the medial part of the transverse vitta to the margin of the tergite.
