third, and a larger number on the fourth segment; the marginals of the first 

 and second somewhat depressed and not conspicuous, those of the third and 

 fourth as large as the discals; conjunctiva of the venter visible. Hypopygium 

 not prominent (figs. 14, 15). Legs black, knees tipped with red; fore femur 

 with long hairs and three rows of slender setae on the outer lateral surface, two 

 of which are on the extensor and one on the flexor surface; middle femur with 

 a row of six or seven stout, spine-Uke setae on the lower (flexor) side on basal 

 half; hind femur with a row of eight or ten spine-like setae on the lower (flexor) 

 side and a closer row of long setae on the dorsal (extensor) surface; fore tibia 

 without, middle tibia with three setae on the posterior surface, hind tibia with 

 three on the outer lateral flexor surface, two on the outer lateral extensor sur- 

 face and one (the calcar) placed nearly a fourth the length of the tibia above 

 the preapical setae on the median extensor surface; tarsal claws and pulvilli 

 large. Wings rilled, smoky hyaline, smoky tinge deeper along the course of 

 the veins, crossveins conspicuously clouded, veins black; costal spine small; 

 Ri extends distinctly beyond the r-m crossvein; m-cu crossvein oblique and 

 strongly flexed; penultimate section of M1+2 slightly over half as long as the 

 ultimate; m-cu crossvein about a fourth longer than the last section of Cui. 

 Squamae whitish with a smoky tinge, large, lower one projects nearly half its 

 width beyond the upper. Halteres pale yellow. One male specimen.

 two or three on the third abdominal segment. Hairs on the fore femora 

 shorter than in the male, setae of the legs otherwise as in the male. Claws and 

 pulvilli somewhat smaller than in the male. Penultimate section of M1+2 

 from three-fifths to three-fourths as long as the ultimate.

 buccae in profile broader than half the length of the third antennal joint;
