heavy, curved spines basally and a much larger, more strongly curved

 inal segment, sparsely haired, fuscous yellowish; 14 cylindric subses-,

 minal segment produced, with a length six times its diameter and 

 tapering nearly uniformly to a subacute apex. Palpi; first segment 

 somewhat produced, narrowly oval, the second one-half longer, slen-

Like the female, except basal half of the antennae clothed with long 

 black hair. Frontal triangle gray pollinose, with the apex shining 

 black. Thorax black, clothed with black hair, no stripes visible. The 

 abdomen black, with the posterior margins of all the segments, except 

 the first, gray pollinose. The wings differ from the female in having 

 the basal end of the black cross-band reaching slightly beyond the 

 middle of the anal cell. The first basal cell has two hyaline spots near 

 the apex, and the second basal cell, one. First submarginal cell with 



a hyaline spot at the base. The discal cell has a hyaline spot at the 

 base, the fifth posterior cell has a semihyaline spot at the base and one 

 at the apex. The apical spot reaches downward over the upper end 

 of the marginal cell, covering about half the first submarginal and 

 nearly all the second submarginal cell. A small black spot at the apex 

 of the posterior branch of the third vein. 

 Length about 8 mm.
