series of small brown dots along- veins Cii and 2nd A ; no 

 dots alouji' Rs except the larae one at tiie origin ; the 

 general effect of the wing-pattern is of a rather abnndant 

 bnsal and apical clouding with «, broad cross-bind that is 

 almost as wide as the length of the sector, practically 

 destitute of dark maikings, only the series ah)ng vein Cu 

 being present. Venatio]! : Rs angulated at origin ; basal 

 deflections of Hi^^ and Cui subequal ; r-??^ shorter than m ; 

 cell \st M2 rectangidar, longer than the i)asal deflection of 

 Cui which is inserted at about the middle of its lengtlr; 

 cell Ml very small, only about two-fifths the length of its 

 petiole. 



Abdominal tergites dark brown ; sternites brownish 

 yellow. Ovipositor with the valves long and slender.

Scapal segments dark brown, the flagellar segments pale

 g(;neially similar. Mesosternum dark i)rown. Halteres 

 with the knob> daik brown. Legs with the coxfe gieyish ; 

 trochanters brownish yellow; femora brown throughout; 

 remainder of the legs abruptly light yellow, only the 

 terminal tarsal segments a little daiker. Wing-pattern 

 much heavier, the pale giey spots along th<' veins very 

 nuniei'ous and in almost all cases large and continent across 

 the cells ; a series of about fifteen small brown dots in the 

 costal cell ; larger and darker spots at the ends of veins Sc\,

 equal to the petiole of cell 37, ; cell \st Mo very small, sub- 

 quadrate, the basal deflection of Cui inserted just before the 

 middle of its length; petiole of cell M, nearly ecjual to this 

 cell. Abdominal segments dark brown.
