veins ; posterior cross vein often narrowly suffused. Halteres obscurely 

 yellowish with black clubs. 



Described from a series (containing many immature examples) from 

 Mormagao, Goa, ix-16 (Kemp). 



A very striking species easily recognised from all others by the snow- 

 white tibiae with the two narrow dark rings. It seems related to the 

 snowwhite-legged species forming the Thrypticomyia group, but the cells 

 are not crowded towards the wing tip as in Skuse's genus.
