Fcnui^f.-— Differs from pa.slcuri as f(]llo\vs; Tlir tn.ns is a little liroader. the distal three 

 funicle joints are white, the infuscation of the fore wing does not proceed quite so far distad 

 the apex of the wing more broadly hyaline, the tip of the pedicel is white and of all tibia; and 

 the first two pairs of knees are much more distinctly white. (Jthcrwise the same. Differs from 

 bident imaxillce in having the cheeks more distinctly metallic, the scajie ijlack, the first three 

 funiele joints distinctly black, the legs black (except as noted; there is a white spot dorsad on

 short but longer than the postmarginal. About five lines of cilia proximad of the hairless line. 

 Scape compressed. I'edicel much longer than any of the funicle joints which are wider than
