Frontalia deep black, slightly widening in front ; bristles of the front 

 descending to one-third of the face from the base of the antennae ; face 

 vertical ; epistoma not prominent ; palpi tawny. Antennae nearly 

 reaching the epistoma ; second joint longer than deep ; third almost 

 linear, truncated at the tip, more than four times the length of the 

 second ; fourth very short ; fifth distinct ; sixth bare, full twice the 

 length of the third, stout for one-third of the length. Costal vein end- 

 ing at a little in front of the tip of the wing ; subcostal vein ending 

 at much beyond one-third of the length ; mediastinal vein ending at 

 beyond half the length ; radial vein ending at about five-sixths of the 

 length ; cubital vein joining the costal near its tip ; prcehrachlal vein 

 forming a very olttise and not sharply defined angle at its flexure, from 

 whence it is almost straight to its tip ; discal transverse vein with 

 two very slight curves, parted by much less than its length from the 

 border, and by a little less from the flexure of the prsebrachial vein.

Bristles of the front descending to one-fourth of the face ; face 

 slightly oblique ; facialia bristly for three-fourths of the length ; episto-

 rounded at the tip, full four times the length of the second ; sixth very 

 minutely pubescent, stout towards the base, much longer than the 

 third. Costal vein ending at some distance in front of the tip of the 

 wing ; subcostal vein ending at a very little beyond one-third of the 

 length ; mediastinal vein ending at much beyond half the length ; 

 radial vein ending at about four-fifths of the length ; cubital vein 

 joining the costal near its tip ; prtcbrachial vein forming an almost 

 right not sharply defined angle at its flexure, near which it is slightly 

 curved inward, and is thence straight to its tip ; discal transverse vein 

 with two very slight curves parted from the border by less than its 

 length.
