the ventral lobes short, black; they are compressed, a little dilated 

 towards the apex, with a spine at the lower apical corner and on 

 the upper margin of the dilatation with short hairs, which are directed 

 towards the base; the outer lamellæ are somewhat long, rhomboidal 

 at the base with an angle on the ventral or outer side, from the base 

 they are attenuated into an almost thread-like apical part; they are 

 brownish, with hairs at the margin, somewhat long on the ventral 

 or outer side. Legs with the coxæ grey; anterior femora blackish 

 grey with the apex yellow, the tibiæ and tarsi yellow, the latter with 

 the three or four last joints black or blackish brown; hind legs black; 

 middle coxæ with a long, black apical spine; front tarsi with meta- 

 tarsus about as long as the two next joints, slightly thickened towards 

 the apex; the second joint slightly curved with the ventral side con- 

 vex ; middle tarsi with metatarsus as long as the next three joints, 

 hind metatarsus a little shorter than the second joint. The legs have 

 short, black hairs, the coxæ are pale-haired; the anterior femora have 

 longish, white, partly bristly hairs at the base, and the hind femora 

 a pale fringe on the postero-ventral side at the basal part; the front 

 femora have black bristles on the apical part of the posterior side, 

 the middle femora have one or a couple of bristles at the apex on 

 both sides, hind femora one; the tibiæ have two rows of somewhat 

 long dorsal bristles, rather few on the hind tibiæ ; on the front tibiæ 

 the bristles in the anterior row are numerous and stronger than those 

 in the posterior row, which latter are present only on the basal half; 

 the middle tibiæ have besides one ventral bristle; the front meta- 

 tarsus with short but dense ciliation above, the middle metatarsus 

 with one (sometimes two) long bristles at the ventral base. Wings 

 somewhat greyish tinged; veins black, discai vein with a slight and

 than in the male; femora yellow or the anterior more or less darkened 

 at the base, the hind femora at the apex; hind tibiæ yellow, tarsi 

 black; middle coxæ without spine, but with some black hairs; front 

 tarsi simple, metatarsus almost as long as the four following joints; 

 middle metatarsus without ventral bristle, as long as the three fol- 

 lowing joints; front coxæ with some black hairs at the apex; femora 

 short-haired, only front femora with longer, partly pale hairs on the 

 posterior side.
