9 — Black, the palpi yellow, the first two joints of antennit yellowish brown. 

 Front at vertex as broad as either eye, frontal bristles descending nearly to tip of 

 second antennal joint, four or five in each row curving backward; two pairs of 

 orbital bristles, a shorter one between them and a row of six macrochcetK in front of 

 ^hem, extending on the face nearly to lower end of eyes, a few bristly hairs among 

 them; antennae about three-fourths as long as the face, the third joint one and 

 one-third times as long as the second ; arista thickened to the middle, the penul- 

 timate joint slightly longer than broad ; cheeks one-fourth as wide as the eye-height ; 

 vibrissEe inserted on the oral margin, two or three bristles above each ; proboscis 

 very short and fleshy, palpi clavale ; eyes rather thinly but quite long pilose. 

 Thorax gray pollinose, marked with four black vittce ; three postsutural and three 

 sternopleural macrochretre, scutellum bearing four marginal pairs, a widely separated 

 backwardly directed discal pair and with two pairs of erect ones between them. 

 Abdomen with a brassy tinge, thinly grayish pollinose ; second segment bearing a 

 discal and a marginal pair of macrochaeta;, third with a discal pair and marginal 

 row, fourth with a discal pair, a median and a marginal row. Wings hyaline, tinged 

 with gray at base and along the costa; third vein bristly almost to the small cross- 

 vein, the others bare ; hind crossvein nearly midway between the small and the 

 bend, the latter with a long appendage; posterior end of hind crossvein less than 

 one-third of distance from the small to the wing-margin ; calypteres white. Front 

 pulvilli two-thirds as long as the last tarsal joint. 



$ — Differs from the f as follows : Antennae four-fifths as long as the face, 

 fourth abdominal segment destitute of the discal pair of macrochieta, front pulvilli 

 longer than the last tarsal joint. Length 7,5 mm.
