The color of the body, especially the mark on the scutellum and the pattern on the mesonotum are variable. In specimens preserved in alcohol, the mark on the scutellum varies from very pale and hardly visible to well-defined with a dark brown mark that sometimes extends to the mesonotum, but its size on the scutellum is constant and confined only to the base and never further posteriorly.
