 flavous ; discocubital cell with two macules, the smaller crescentic, up- 

 right, with indistitict appendix ; antenncz fulvous, with apices black. 



Length, 14-18 mm. ; wing, 12-14 mm. ; spread, 25-30 mm. ; antennae, 

 18-21 mm. 



Light reddish-yellow, clothed with fine short pubescence ; vertex

 antennae; fossae sometimes piceous ; clypeal foveae distinct. Mesono-

 sutures, pleurae, and pectus ferruginous to black ;* pleurae marked with 

 flavous ; scutellum convex, honey-yellow ; metathorax with a weak an- 

 terior transverse carina, in front of which it is smooth, behind very 

 finely reticulate, with weak median and lateral longitudinal carinae. 



Wings hyaline, stigma and costa flavous, nervures otherwise fuscous; 

 radial vein with its basal half slightly thickened ; discocubital vein 

 bent, its outer half nearly parallel with the third discoidal vein ; dis- 

 cocubital cell with two maculae, the larger triangular, not appendicu-

 pointed outward, and with a colorless appendix ; nervulus interstitial ; 

 nervellus broken below the middle. 



Legs fulvous, claws pectinate. 



Abdomen with the four basal segments fulvous or slightly lighter, 

 the rest fuscous or black. 



* Norton states that in the types the pectus, thoracic sutures, meso- 

 thorax and three apical abdominal segments are piceous, but this is 

 not so in the specimens which I have seen.
