Thorax and scutellum polished black, two yellow vittae on the meso- 

 notum in front of the suture, a brown spot between the scutellum and 

 insertion of each wing. Abdomen polished black, segments two to 

 five, except a dorsal spot at the base of the second, bright yellow. 

 Coxae black, femora yellow, the apices broadly black, tibiae yellow, 

 the ends and a broad fascia near the middle of the hind ones black; 

 tarsi black. Halteres yellowish-brown. Wings black, the base to the 

 humeral crossvein yellow; a yellowish hyaline fascia crosses each wing 

 between the apices of the anal and of the second posterior cell, and 

 contains the black stigma; a liyaline vitta in the first basal cell before 

 its middle, a subhyaline one in the second basal cell beyond its middle, 

 and a second one in the center of the axillary cell. 



Female: Differs from the male as follows: No yellow spots on the 

 occiput; antennae U-jointed, not furnished with processes, yellow 

 except the first two joints; segments 2 and 5 of the abdomen black; 

 apices of all of the posterior cells except the fifth, brown; no hyaline 

 nor subhyaline vitta in the black portion of the wings.

Type.—^o. 3005, U.S.N.M. 



This genus has heretofore been represented by a single species which
