in fastigium verticis with 1 narrow longitudinal black pattern, face without black spot, genae below eyes with 1 black small spot on each side; posterior margin of female subgenital plate small and triangular projecting in middle; dorsal surface of body with a wider black band. While the latter species has the posterior margin of female subgenital plate almost straight with indistinct median concavity.
