males have a black apical pile brush on the profemur, the protarsi are very broad, orange and the probasitarsus has a tuft of orange pile on the posterior side. The metafemur is long and slender with black pile ventrally which becomes longer towards the distal end. The metatibia has a long and deep posterior depression which is bordered with long black pile. The species resembles other species with a dark apical pile brush on the profemur, but the probasitarsus has a tuft of orange pile as in
