somewhat hairy, appendages more glabrous. On the lower (morphologically 

 dorsal) surface is a small, pale, rounded projection bristling with pale hairs. 

 Pleurae dark metallic green covered with white dust. In the eastern speci- 

 men the space between the humerus and the insertion of the fore coxa and 

 also much of the region above the middle coxa is yellow. In both specimens 

 the metathoracic epimera are yellow. Coxae yellow; fore pair very long; hind 

 pair with a large fuscous spot not very sharply outlined; hairs on fore coxte 

 pale and inconspicuous. Legs very long and slender, pale yellow, slightly 

 infuscated towards the tips of the tarsi. Middle femora with some prominent 

 black bristles on their undersides near the base; in the corresponding region 

 the hind femora are beset with a couple of stouter, longer yellow bristles. 

 Fore tibia with a regular series of short hook-like spines along its lower sur- 

 face. Fore tarsi slender, not quite as long as the fore tibiae; first joint longer 

 than the second to fifth taken together, on its inner surface with a regular 

 series of small, curved, flattened spines; second and third joints plain, of about 

 equal length, narrower than the first joint, fourth and fifth joints dilated, the 

 former paler near the base and fringed with flattened black hairs, the latter 

 entirely black, with shorter hairs. Wings somewhat narrowed towards their 

 bases, yellowish gray, with brown veins. Fourth vein gently bent upwards 

 near its middle, thence running parallel with the third vein and ending not 

 very close to it in the costa. Posterior cross-vein about one-third the length 

 of the distal segment of the fifth vein. Tegulae and halteres pale yellow, the 

 former with rather long yellow cilia.
