pair grey with a blackish margin and a rather conspicuous fringe of 

 long hairs, in the thoracal pair yellowish glassy with a greyish yellow 

 margin and an inconspicuous sparse fringe of long (about as long as 

 those in the alar pair) though very thin pale yellowish hairs ; hair tuft 

 about the angle of the alar pair conspicuous and yellow. Halteres 

 blackish, with stalk and tip of the knob paler.

 of all the femora more or less brown, and all the tibiae obscurely dark 

 red-brownish black with the basal parts of two anterior tibiae slightly 

 but distinctly paler ; front coxae densely covered with a yellowish 

 grey tomentum, and clothed with a long black pubescence which is 

 intermixed with similar but longer yellowish grey hairs about the base, 

 and which becomes shorter and rather sparser at the tip ; front femora 

 clothed with an erect dark castaneous pubescence which becomes shorter 

 on the upper and inner sides, and which disappears on the 

 shining lower side, this bare space being broad but not hollowed about 

 the basal two-thirds though very finely striolate, and the row of tiny 

 bristles on its inner margin moderately long ; front tibiae densely clothed 

 with a short depressed black pubescence which becomes slightly longer 

 outwards and much shorter inwards, and bearing a very few inconspicu-

 upper-outer margin and with two rather slender unequal blackish spurs ; 

 pubescence on the hind femora similar to those on the middle
