Head: dark brown; thorax, dark brown in the middle, with a pale yellowish testaceous 
border surrounding it at the sides and front, and to some extent behind. Abdomen brown, 
with traces of pale spots at the sides near base of segments, most prominent on basal 
segments. Legs brown. Fork-cells of female wings about same length and width, the 
stems not quite as long as the cells. 
$— Jlead ; deeji brown, clothed with deep ochreous brown flat scales and some deep 
brown cba3tie, the scales are ochreous in some lights, two long ones between the eyes ; 
antennte pilose very long and thin, and deep brown, including the basal segment; second 
segment of antennai very long, as in ! leinocei-ites ; proboscis deep brown, hairy, darkest at 
the slightly swollen apex, not quite as long as the antennae; clypeus, deei^ brown ; palpi, 
very small brown scales, with traces of ochreous reflections towards the tips. 
Thorax: deep shiny brown in the middle, with a broad pale j^ellowish testaceous border 
around the sides and in front, with scattered small bronzy to brown scales on the dark area, 
pale ones on the light border; pale chaetse on the pale area, dark on the central area, 
particularly over the roots of the wings ; prothoracic lobes pale ; scutellum deep brown, with 
narrow-curved small scales, live black chaeta; to the mid lobe on the posterior border and 
dark ones on the lateral lobes; metanotum dark brown ; pleurae same pale colour as the 
border of thorax. 
Abdovieu: deep brown, with some pale dull creamy scales at the sides, forming more or 
less irregular basal patches, most pronounced on the second and third segments ; border- 
bristles and other hairs very line, pale brown to golden brown. 
Leys: unhanded, clothed with brown scales, showing dull ochreous and bronzy 
rehections; ungues small, equal and simple; cluetie deep brown, rather thick. 
Wings : with large scales on the apices of the veins ; fork-cells moderately long ; the first 
sub-marginal about the same length and width as the second posterior, its base very slightly 
nearer the apex of the wing than that of the latter; stem of the first fork-cell not quite as 
long as the cell; stem of the second fork-cell also not quite as long as the cell ; 
supernumerary and posterior cross-veins very slightly longer than the mid cross-vein, the 
latter about one and a half times its own length distant from the mid ; sixth long vein 
abruptly curved round to the border ; halteres with pale stem and fuscous knob. 
Length: 3mm. 
$ — Head : brown with brown flat scales, showing dull ochreous reflections and with dull 
yellowish upright forked scales behind. Antenme plumose, plume hairs deej) rich brown, 
basal segment black, internodes pale ; proboscis deejj brown, slightly ochreous at the base ; 
lahellae pale, much swollen along the apical two-thirds ; hairy ; palpi thin, brown, about 
two thirds the length of the proboscis. 
Thorax: as in Abdomen with the basal lateral spots more pronounced than 
in the $ ; pale ochreous ventrally and with pale hairs. 
Legs: uniformly brown with bronzy reflections ; ungues sinqfie, fore and mid nearly 
equal in size but slightly different in shape (?). 
Wings: with the fol'k-cells of about equal length and width, the base of the first nearer 
the apex of the wing than the base of the second ; stem of the first fork-cell about as long as 
the cell; of the second, slightly shorter; posterior cross-vein rather more than its own length 
distant from the mid. Claspers of genitalia not as long as the basal lobes, rather broad and 
with a small nearly terminal hook-like segment.
