band across the cephalic end — a narrow indefinite h'ght lateral band 

 extending half way to wing joint, and a small spot dorsad of the end of 

 this line, but the markings are very indefinite, general effect being a 

 reddish brown, sparsely covered with an irregular arrangement of dark 

 and yellowish scales. A heavy bunch of dark brown bristles near the 

 wing joint, and a short line of very long and heavy dark brown bristles 

 on either side of the "bare spot." Scutellum light brown, all three lobes 

 densely covered witii broad flat white scales; six large bristles on 

 midlobe and several smaller ones also ; metanotum brown, bare. The 

 brilliant white scutellum is very effective and marks the insect at once. 



Abdomen light, covered with brown flat scales and many golden 

 apical hairs, with now and then a suggestion of narrow white basal 

 bands, and with distinct white basal lateral spots. Venter partly white 

 scaled, but with brown apical bands. 



Legs, coxae and trochanters light, white scaled ; hind femora light 

 at the base, otherwise all the femora brown scaled dorsally — creamy 

 scaled on the ventral side ; a brilliant white apical spot; all the tarsal joints 

 brown. The legs are rather prominently light bristled throughout, which 

 even suggests, with the hand lens, light spots on the hind tibiae. Fore 

 ungues large, equal and uniserrate. 



Wings clear yellowish, covered with dark brown scales, except 

 a small spot at the very base of the costa, which is brilliant white. Cells 

 short; scales rather broad and truncate, costal edge shows some ten- 

 dency to the spinous scales found in Uranotaejiia. First submarginal is 

 about a sixth longer and the same width as the 2nd posterior, the stems 

 of each about the same length and about two-thirds as long as the cells ; 

 mid and s,upernumerary cross-veins meet and are nearly equal, posterior 

 cross-vein is a trifle shorter and distant twice its own length from the 

 mid. Halteres light, with dark knob. 



Length, 4-5 mm.
