Frontal prolongation of the head pale brownish yellow, more pruinose 

 above; palpi dark brown. Antennae with the first segment gray pruinose; sec- 

 ond segment yellow; flagellar segments with the basal enlargement dark brown, 

 the remainder of each segment a trifle paler to produce a very indistinct bi- 

 colorous effect ; flagellar verticils long. Head brownish gray with a very in- 

 distinct brown line on the vertical tubercle. 



Pronotum brownish with an indistinct capillary dark brown median line. 

 Mesonotal praescutum dark gray with five brown stripes, the three intermediate 

 very narrow, being formed by the lateral margins and capillary median vitta 

 of the usual broad median stripe; lateral stripes broad; humeral region yellow; 

 prsescutal interspaces with a few dark setigerous punctures ; scutum dark 

 gray ; scutellum dark testaceous brown ; postnotum light gray with a capillary 

 black median line. Pleura light yellow, gray pruinose ; dorsopleural mem- 

 branes dull yellow. Halteres long, dark brown, the base of the stem paler. 

 Legs with the coxae pale reddish, sparsely gray pruinose ; trochanters dull yel- 

 low; femora reddish brown, the tips indistinctly darker; tibiae yellowish brown, 

 the tips narrowly dark brown ; metatarsi yellowish brown, the tips darkened ; 

 remainder of the tarsi dark brown ; metatarsi shorter than the tibiae ; claws 

 small, simple. Wings grayish, the apical cells grayish brown, the costal and 

 subcostal cells more yellowish; stigma pale yellowish brown; an obliterative 

 streak before and beyond the stigma, the latter in the bases of cells R., and R3. 

 Venation: Cell R^ rather broad at the base; basal deflection of ^4 + 5 short; 

 cell 1st M2 small, almost regularly pentagonal ; petiole of cell M^ short, about 

 as long as cell ist M„ ; ni-cu punctiform. 



Abdominal tergites brownish yellow with three broad dark brown stripes, 

 the lateral margins of the segments rather broadly pale, the caudal margins 

 indistinctly ringed with yellowish, most evident on segments six and seven ; 

 sternites pale yellow, the terminal segments indistinctly pruinose. Ovipositor

 slender tergal valves greatly exceeding the sternal valves, along the ventral 

 margin with scattered erect setae.
