follows : Parafacialia in middle and parafrontalia before mid- 

 dle light to deep golden, the space between soft to subshining 

 black. Prohumeral spot silvery, mesopleural golden spot very 

 large and longitudinally elongate; upper sternopleural spot very 

 small, almost obliterated ; lower sternopleural spot small, no 

 trace of spot on metapleura ; thus only four pleural gold spots. 

 Scutellum silvery on sides, more or less deeply golden on apex. 

 The two wide median pollinose vittse of mesoscutum are deep 

 golden on posterior half of postscutum. The pollen of venter

 light to deep golden in male, and always deep golden in greater 

 part in female. Tegul?e more whitish in some males.

 warped ; arista very short-pubescent. Front wide in both 

 sexes. Parafacialia sparsely but quite evenly bristled, as much 

 below as above, at times less in middle. Two sternopleurals 

 and two postsuturals ; no preacrostichals, one postacrostichal. 

 Costal spine absent, third vein bristled half way to small cross- 

 vein. Male without either proclinate or reclinate orbitals,
