by the color of hairs on mesonotum. In the former species these hairs are completely pale but in the latter the hairs on mesonotum are completely black. The hairs on the mesonotum are moderately weak and may be matted by handling (especially on disc) so in dubious cases the lateral margin of the mesonotum and the other diagnostic characters (including antennal color, female genitalia) should be checked for correct identification of female specimens.

The black mark on the frons is somewhat variable and ranges from no mark to a narrow black stripe in the middle. The proboscis length is highly variable and ranges from shorter to much longer than head (the shortness could be due to retraction of the proboscis within the head capsule in some specimens). Also the end of the median black stripe on the mesonotum is sometimes narrowed, pointed, and separated from the posterior margin of the mesonotum.
