femora yellow, gradually darker, more brownish, toward the tip of 

 the segment; remainder of the legs light yellow. 



Wings hyaline; cells C, Sc, Scj, first Rj, second R,, R, and the ante- 

 rior border of R light brown; a light yellow spot near the distal end of 

 cells C and Sc; a clear j'eUow spot on the basal tliird of cell Scj, at end 

 of <'ells second Rj and Rj; a dark brown suffusion at the end of veins 

 Sc and Sc2, R,, R3 and a verj' large one at the end of R,. Remainder 

 of the wing with light brown markings as follows: along the cord, 

 in cell R3, excepting three hyaline spots at the base, at the first 

 quarter, and a rectangular spot at the middle, cell R5, apex and 

 middle brown; a brown cloud along the cross-vein m and second 

 deflection of 'M^, a continuation of the medial band in cell R5; brown 

 marks in base and apex of cell M,, apex of cell second M^; apex and 

 midtUe of M3; a large cloud at the end of Cuj and first A; around the 

 basal deflection of Cuj, at the fork of R5, and two eye-lilie spots in 

 the middle of cell Cu and above the end of second anal. Venation: 

 Sc rather long, extending to opposite the fork of R2+3; Sc, at the tip 

 of Sci ; r far removed from the tip of Rj ; R2+3 short, rather longer than 

 the basal deflection of Cui; basal deflection of Rj+5 arcuated, nearer 

 the base of the \ving than the rest of the cord; M1+2 beyond m (i. e., 

 petiole of cell M,) very short, shorter than the cross-vein r; basal 

 deflection of Cu, far anterior to the fork of M, the distance that M 

 is fused with Cu, gi-eater than the deflection of Cu, alone. (See fig. 

 40.) 



Abdomen: tergum brown, bases and apices of segments yellow; 

 a naiTow, transverse, yellow band near the middle of each segment 

 interrupted medially, forming two rectangular spots; on segments 

 5-8 the yellow bases to the segments are not evident, but are re- 

 placed by small, square or rounded dots at the latero-cephalic margin 

 of the sclerites; ovipositor with short yellowish valves; sternum, yel- 

 low, with a broad, brown subbasal blotch on each sclerite, triangular 

 on its anterior margin.

Female. — Length, 8.2 mm.; wing, 8.4 mm. Head: rostrum and 

 palpi dark bro-wn; antenna^: first segment short, cylindrical, second 

 of the same diameter, short, flagellar segments elongate, gradually 

 shorter to the end, -vvith a few long hairs on the basal half of each 

 segment, each segment being covered with a dense pubescence, two 

 scapal s(>gments dark bro^\•n, tliird segment brownish at base,
