antennae, the smaller number of facial bristles and their different 







position, finally, by its hardly whitish wings. Cinereous, opaque. 

 Front rather broad, a little darker than the remainder of the body, 

 with an impressed longitudinal line on each side ; frontal lunule 

 very narrow, whitish pollinose. Antennas black, a whitish polli- 

 nose dot on the upper edge of the second joint, bristle pectinated 

 with four or five long hairs. Face moderately broad, gibbous, its 

 upper half distinctly keeled, the lower one convex, receding at the 

 aperture of the mouth. Two bristles on each side of the face, 

 approximated to the eyes. The very narrow orbit of the eyes 

 becomes broader on their under side. Cheeks broader than in 

 most Discocerince. The cinereous color merges into yellowish on 

 the thorax ; on the upper side of the abdomen, especially towards 

 the apex, it becomes more distinctly hoary. Feet concolorous to 

 the rest of the body, hoary with a whitish pollen ; anterior tarsi 

 yellowish, blackish towards the tip ; hind tarsi entirely obscure. 

 Halteres white. Wings hyaline, slightly tinged with an impure 

 whitish, costal vein not incrassated.
