 Rostrum — Yellow with extreme tip dark, reaheinir .iust beyoml the first eoxir. 

 I'rothnrar — Oradually wideninir from the base of the head to the mesothorax, 

 not as wide as the latter, yellow with two lateral dorsal lilaek bands extending 

 from the anti-rior almost to the base. These bands are narrow and do not reaeh 

 to the mesothorax. Mfsolhnras — Well developed, yellow, the lobes sometimes 

 pinkish or richer yellow. Mftalhnrajr — With well developed muscle lobe or 

 scutellum. SIi(.'Iitly deeper yellow than the body proper. Ahtlnmrn -\^i']\ 

 rounded, widest near the middle, bright yellow without darker <lorsHl mark- 

 ings, except a dark spot where the cornicles should be and even this is ver.v 

 ob.wure. Cnrnirlr.'! — Simply indicated by dusky spots on the abdomen. Lffjx 

 — Normally long and haired; coxit" yellow, color of the body: femora dusky 

 yellow or light yellow at base with apical tip almost black: tibia* black — tarsi 

 black. These markings of the legs are constant and very characteristic. The 

 dark spot on the femora is simply a black band around the extreme apical tip. 

 Wiiifis — Nonnal for this genus. Primnr;/ — Lent'th 2.5 nun., width 0.0 nun. 

 Costal vein black and heavy to the base of the stigma ; subcostal vein light .yel- 

 low from base of wing to stigma, wide; .s'/i^Hin-sub-hyalinc, lightest in middle, 

 dusky around edges with a dark spot or blotch at the tip of the subcostal 

 (lower base of the stigma) and dark apical margin from the base of the third 

 diseoidal to the wing margin ; sharp angle at base of stigmal vein and at 

 apex ; nearly a parallelogram, with angles very sharp at base of stigmal 

 vein and at tip: stigmal vein nearly obsolete, but mo.st distinct through- 

 out its apical half, short and deeply curved, almost a semi-circumferenee, 

 arises from near the apical end of the stigma where it forms a ver.v sharp 

 angle; first diseoidal is very dark with margins narrowly and heavily 

 clouded, arises from the subcostal at two-thirds its leneth from the base, nearly 

 .straight: second diseoidal as dark as the first with a dark narrow border, arises 

 near the ba.se of the stigma and curves inwardly: third diseoidal heavily 

 clouded at its base, onl.v becoming lighter and very narrow towards the tip. 

 brani'bing ver.v variable. th(> first branch usually arising near the middle, and 

 the seccnd branch .just before the middli- of the first. ITowever. the second 

 fork is .sometimes very near the tip of the wing and again it may be near to the 

 third vein proper. Tn one such case the vein was thrice branched, the third 

 branch arising very near the wing margin. Only one such instance was found. 

 The drawing shows the nonnal wing. The stigmal vein an<1 the tips of the 

 third diseoidal and its branches are amber brown with darker .spots at the 

 apices of all the veins. Slfrondarii — Length 1.7 mm., width 0..'i mm., very light, 

 with dusky tips; subcostal light amber, with shiirp downward bend two-thirds 

 the distance from base to tip; first disccidal arises from the subcostal beyond
