median segment combined, the apical joints distinctly arcuate 

 beneath. Front closely and rather strongly punctured, vertex 

 and thorax more finely and closely punctured, sparsely clothed 

 with cinereous hairs. Median segment rounded. Abdomen 

 shining, very shallowly punctured, the dorsal segments somewhat 

 flattened and not constricted at the base. Hypopygium short, 

 rounded, as broad as long, with a minute spine at the apex. 

 Second abscissa of the radius nearly as long as the third ; first 

 recurrent nervure received at two-thirds from the base of the 

 second cubital cell, second at about one-seventh from the base of 

 the third cubital cell.

This species approaches more nearly to Agriomyia than most 

 of the genus, the structure of the pygidium in the female being 

 very similar. But the male clypeus and antennae are those of 

 JYeozeleboria, also the first dorsal and fifth ventral segments of 

 the female.
