Pterothorax black as follows: disk of the mesostigmal plate, 2/3 of mesepisternum (dark yellow to orange along the dorsal carina), dark spot posteriorly sitting on the mesopleural suture close to the alar area, irregular shaped bar on the disk of mesepimeron, longitudinal bar on the dorsal part of mesinfraepisternum, faint streak on the interpleural suture almost touching alar area, spot sitting posteriorly on the metapleural suture, posterior end of posternum; dark yellow developed on remaining areas of mesepisterna, almost entire mesepimeron; rest of the pterothorax pale blue starting from dorso-posterior part of mesepimeron and becoming paler towards the ventral part of the thoracic capsule to pale yellow on metinfraepisternum and anterior 1/3 of metepimeron. Legs yellow with black spines; black areas developed on posterior surfaces on all femora, fain brownish streak along the posterior surface of the front tibiae; claws yellow at the base, darker reddish at the tips. Mesostigmal plate low without raised corners, concave on the disk; pits developed between the plate and dorsal carina.

). Teneral specimens, however, differ significantly even in the general outlines of the thoracic markings (cf. 10cd). The darker shades on the side of the pterothorax of the tenerals follow the outlines of the orange area in mature females especially on the mesothorax. On the metathorax of mature specimens this area is replaced by the blue colouration with slight traces of orange around the black spots on the metepisternum. Note that the teneral females also have the dark spots on meso- and metapleural sutures developed, but not the streak on the intersegmental suture. Dark markings on mesepimeron and mesinfraepisternum are not present on tenerals either.
