Male. Frons considerably broader than high, greyish black, 

 dull; inner bristle of lower row below the outer and a little nearer to 

 it than to the upper supraantennal; supraantennal bristles equal or 

 nearly, the upper about as distant as the inner bristles of middle row, 

 the lower more approximate. Antennæ black, of ordinary size, arista 

 short-pubescent. Palpi dark yellow or a little dusky, of ordinary size 

 and armature. Thorax black, slightly shining, with brown pubescence. 

 Mesopleura with uniform bristles. Abdomen black, somewhat greyish, 

 dull ; the short hairs are almost not longer at the hind margins of the 

 segments, but on the sides of the sixth segment they are distinct. 

 Hypopygium of medium size or somewhat large, knob-like; it is 

 greyish and has on each side a dense bunch of conspicuous, some- 

 what bristly hairs; below a claw-like, yellowish organ is seen with the 

 point directed forwards; ventral plate yellowish, broadly rounded, 

 but short; anal tube small, dusky yellow. Legs yellowish to brownish, 

 the front legs the palest; the hairs below the basal part of hind femora 

 only a little longish; bristles on hind tibiæ distinct and somewhat 

 large. Wings a little brownish tinged, veins brown and thin veins 

 somewhat strong; costa not reaching to the middle, 1 nearly double 

 2 and longer than 2+3; costal ciHa long; fourth vein slightly and 

 evenly curved, only slightly more in the basal part. Halteres black. 



Female. I have not seen the female; according to Wood it has 

 blacker legs than the male, costa reaching about to the middle and 

 1 not more than half again as long as 2. 



Length 1,7 mm.

 my specimen has the claw-like organ below the hypopygium black, 

 what is probably of no consequence for the specific identity, but it
