The pilosity of the lateral metasoma tends to be less dense or absent towards the anterior and posterior of each tergite (Fig. 406). A small number of specimens (CASENT 2134007, 2134010, 2134011, and OSUC 142625, 213378) are notable for their dense, completely white and somewhat thicker pilosity. These otherwise fit well with the remaining material.
