remainder of mesonotum grey-pruinose. Halteres pale. 
Legs with the coxz brown, sparsely pruinose ; trochanters 
obscure yellow; femora light yellowish brown with a narrow 
but distinct dark brown subterminal ring; tibicze and meta- 
tarsi pale brown, the tips blackened; remainder of the tarsi 
black. Wings with a strong yellow tinge, cells C and Se 
more brownish yellow; a conspicuous dark brown pattern 
distributed as follows : a quadrate blotch at origin of Rs, 
not attaining M; stigmal area oval with a conspicuous 
caudal extension along the cord to cell 1st M,; brown seams 
at m and on the basal deflection of Cu,;; a brown spot on 
vein Ist A near two-thirds the length; wing-tip very faintly 
darkened; no dark mark at fork of M,,,; veins black. 
Venation ; Rs very long, spurred at origin; r on FR, from 
just beyond mid-length to two-thirds the length ; petiole of 
cell 1, longer than the second section of M,,.,; basal 
deflection of Cu; near two-thirds the length of cell lst M4. 
Abdomen uniformly brown; eighth segment blackened ; 
hypopygium obscure brownish yellow. Male hypopygium 
similar to that of G. subfasciata Walker, differing as follows: 
ninth tergite with a low broad median lobe, the caudal 
margin of which is gently concave. Black spinulose arms 
on mesal face of pleurites not so regularly globose, the small 
spinulose lobe near its base larger. Outer pleural appendage 
with the apex and subterminal spine shorter, the apex with 
more distinct denticles; inner pleural appendage with the 
elongate apex much more slender, tapering gradually to 
the subacute apex. 
The female is full-winged; abdominal tergites brownish 
grey; ovipositor with the valves elongate.

terminal rings on the femora.
