 pruinose; flagellum dark brown. Head light grey, the middle of the vertex a 

 little darker. Pronotum light grey, more infuscated medially. Mesonotal prae- 

 scutum clear light grey with three brownish stripes, the median stripe obliterated 

 anteriorly excepting a narrow darker median stripe that continues to the anterior 

 margin; lateral stripes shorter; pseudosutural foveae black, very conspicuous, 

 their surface granular; remainder of the mesonotum clear grey, the scutum and 

 scutellum narrowly darker medially. Pleura clear grey. Halteres broAvn, the

 dark brown ; small brown spots as follows : at origin and fork of Rs ; at Sc- ; 

 tip of R2; fork of Cu; at r-m, and at fork of W-^-; apical half of cell R^ and the 

 tip of R- strongly infuscated. Venation : Sc ending a little beyond the fork of 

 Rs, !Sc^ slightly removed from the tip, !Sc^ alone about equal to R-+^; Rs long, 

 angulated at origin; R-+^ shorter than the deflection of R*^''; r far from the tip
