The profemoral exterior lobe is of a similar shape as the interior lobe, but differs in being slightly wider, lacking distinct serration, and the proximal end reaches closer to the base of the profemora. All femoral lobes have mild serration, typically only two or three dulled teeth on the distal halves of the lobes. The meso- and metafemoral interior lobes span end to end, but are more heavily weighted towards the distal end, with the proximal end thin. The meso- and metafemoral exterior lobes are slightly more evenly spread across their lengths and slightly thinner, giving them a more arcing appearance. The head and lobes of the legs are of a similar burnt red coloration while the thorax is brighter red. The abdomen base color is vermillion with darker red to black markings along the margins and looping along the central abdominal cavity, giving the appearance of spots. The abdomen is notably thinner than any other
