 and the second, for half its length, striate; tarsi whitish. 



Head transverse, very little more than twice as wide as thick antero- 

 posteriorly. Eyes bare. Antenna ll-jointed, the scape short, less than 

 half the length of the fiagellum, the pedicel large and much stouter than 

 the funiclar joints, as long as the first and second funiclar joints together, 

 pale at apex, first and second funiclar joints equal, scarcely longer than 

 thick, the third and fourth still smaller, minute, moniliform; club fusi- 

 form, longer than the scape, the first joint transverse, the second a little 

 wider and longer, the third still wider, quadrate, the fourth a little nar- 

 rower, quadrate, the last conic. Thorax subconvex. Wings hyaline, 

 ciliated, with a dusky band across the middle below the marginal vein ; 

 the stigmal vein short, with a spurious vein extending into the middle

Described from a single specimen captured while sweeping. 

 The banded wings and the short stigmal vein, with a branch or uncus, 

 from its tip, readily distinguish the species.
