black hairs towards the tip. Antennae almost as in the female, but 

 the much paler third joint with its basal annulation comparatively 

 shorter and the style-like portion comparatively longer. Eyes bare, 

 large, touching for about four fifth front, in profile somewhat triangu- 

 lar with rounded postero-lower angle, deeper than the length ; when 

 seen from above triangular with the longest and slightly convex antero- 

 lateral, shortest and straight inner, and almost straight hind margins, 

 the upper angle being 100° ; when seen from in front about as deep 

 as wide, the frontal angle about 135°, the upper angle about 105°, the 

 lower angle about 100 , and the outer angle strongly rounded ; facets 

 on about the upper-two-thirds almost four times as large as those on 

 about the lower third and with a conspicuous line of separation except 

 that the small facets extend in a rather narrow zone all up the hind- 

 margin of the eyes to the ocellar tubercle ; the dividing line across 

 the eyes is hardly undulating but runs nearly straight across the eye 

 to the zone of small facets ; in death brownish or dark brown on the 

 space occupied by large facets, and blackish on the rest; in life accord- 

 ing to Verrall's description, grey above but green on more than the 

 lower third, with one dark (or rarely purple) band along the top of 

 the small facets, in British io.m. 



Thorax rather darker thin in the female and with rather longer 

 much abundant erect blackish pubescence, and with rather longer more 

 conspicuous pale suberect pubescence and less conspicuous whitish 

 pubescence above the wing-bases and along the lower margins of the 

 postalar calli, and with rather yellowish grey stripes. Scutellum with 

 much longer more abundant erect black pubescence, and a few incon- 

 spicuous marginal fringe of pale grey hairs. Pleurae darker but obscured 

 with much more abundant more longer and rather shaggy whitish grey 

 hairs. 



Wings, squamae, and halteres almost as in the female. 



Legs usually more darker, and the bhekish or brownish portion 

 of the tibiae much more unwell-defined, and all the tibiae with a less
