palpi rather small black; proboscis large, black; cheeks not visible 

 below the eyes; below the proboscis there are a few delicate brown 

 hairs; occiput green but so thickly covered with brown pollen that 

 the ground color is scarcely visible; postorbital bristles extending to 

 about the middle of the eye; postvertical bristles about four on each 

 side, forming a row that joins the postorbitals both ways; in place of 

 the usual beard there are numerous short black bristles; antennae 

 black (third joint missing in the described specimen). 



Thorax dark brown pruinose with slight coppery reflections, the 

 space before the scutellum greenish: dorsum with two dark brown 

 lines which reach from near the front to the depressed green area; 

 scutellum with one pair of bristles; pleurae blackish, opaque. 



Abdomen brown with coppery reflections and with the first segment 

 green, clothed with short black hairs: hypopygium distinct, nearly 

 globular, brown, gray pruinose as are also the sides of the abdomen. 



Coxae black, fore pair with long, delicate, somewhat brownish, pale 

 hairs on the front surface, these hairs much longer towards the base; 

 femora dark metallic green, fore pair thickened: tibiae and tarsi black; 

 fore tibiae bent near the apex, contracted at the bend (Fig. 2), tip 

 enlarged, a close row of bristles on the lower side which is not inter- 

 rupted at the bend: fore metatarsi nearly one-half as long as the 

 tibiae and about as long as the remaining four joints together, bent 

 and with a cluster of bristles on the inner side near the base. 



Tegulae and their cilia brownish yellow; halteres yellow. Wings 

 smoky, an indistinct brown cloud on the posterior cross-vein: veins 

 black: first vein short; second vein long, extending out towards the 

 tip of the wing and beyond the tip of the first vein running close to 

 the costa until it merges into it; last section of fifth vein equal to the 

 cross-vein in length. 



9 Occiput and front dark green, shining but somewhat dulled 

 with brownish pollen: face shining blue-green with a little white 

 pollen on the sides below: palpi Mack with a little white pollen on 

 the outer edge and long black hairs: postvertical bristles in a row of 

 about four on each side joining the orbitals which extend below 

 the middle of the eye; beard black but scattering; antennae black, 

 small, third joint oval. 



Dorsum of thorax opaque brown with a darker brown line on each 

 side of the acrostichal bristles and with some metallic reflections on the 

 posterior portions; acrostichal bristles very small and scattering; 

 dorsocentrals rather large, black: numerals two, and one behind the
