tarsi black, the metatarsi a little shorter than their tibiae and with 

 a close row of erect hair-like bristles below; the remaining four 

 joints together about two-fifths as long as the first; hind tarsi 

 black, shining with rather long hairs, shorter than their tibiae; the 

 metatarsi longer than the remaining four joints together. Tegulae 

 yellowish brown, with black tips and cilia; halters yellow. Wings 

 grayish hyaline, with the usual cross-bands, which are united in 

 front as far back as the third vein; a brown cloud fills in the apex 

 of the cell in front of the tip of the first vein ; the cells between the 

 first and third veins are tinged with yellow as far as the cross- 

 bands; costa with erect cilia, which is longest at the tip of the 

 first vein ; the last section of the fourth vein beyond the fork bent 

 backward so as to be somewhat U-shaped. 



Female — Agrees with the male in the colour of the front, body 

 and wings, but differs in having no rows of bristles on the tibiae 

 and tarsi and no erect cilia on the costa; the front coxae and all 

 femora are yellow, all the tarsi black, and the face is so thickly 

 covered with white pollen as to conceal the ground colour. Length 

 6 mm. 



Described from two males and three females taken at Los 

 Amates and Marales, Guatemala, in February and March. 



This species agrees in most points with the description of S. 

 genitalis Aid., but differs in the structure of the front tarsi, the 

 first joint of which has a row of stout bristles below for its entire 

 length, the second joint has no bristles, but only short, delicate 

 hairs below, while Prof. Aldrich, in his description of genitalis, 

 states that the first joint has a few small bristles near the apex 

 and the second joint a number of smaller ones extending its whole 

 length.
