 trichiae in cell ist A of the wing. 



General coloration paler, especially the pleura and lateral 

 sclerites of the postnotum which are obscure testaceous yellow. 

 Venation : Sc extending some distance beyond r; cell ist M^ 

 open by the atrophy of m; m-cu about one-half the basal de- 

 flection of Cii^. Numerous macrotrichiae occupy the greater 

 portion of cell ist A; macrotrichiae of veins somewhat longer 

 than in T. aperta. Male hypopygium of simple structure; 

 pleural appendages simple, cylindrical. Gonapophyses of very

 spicuous dark brown stripes, the lateral stripes with the anterior 

 half confluent mesally with the median stripe, restricting the 

 pale interspaces to narrow strips cephalad of the suture ; lateral 

 margins of the sclerite faintly darkened ; scutal lobes dark 

 brown, the median area paler ; scutellum and postnotum dark
