frontal bristles descending as far as the end of the second antennal joint; vibrisse in the male at some 
distance above, in the female only a little above, the oral margin; cheeks rather broad; beard white. 
Antenne nearly as long as the face; second joint with short bristles ; third joint four times as long as 
the second; arista thickened to nearly half its length. Proboscis black, with the terminal lips rufous; 
palpi thin, pale rufous. Thorax yellowish-cinereous, anteriorly with four distinct black stripes, which 
behind the transverse suture disappear in a more general black coloration ; pleure grey ; scutellum black,

A male and a female specimen. 
- This species is closely allied to, and perhaps not really distinct from, 7. striolata, 
from which it chiefly differs in the rufous palpi, these organs being black in T. striolata.
