Thorax dark brown with gray reflections, and narrow curved (almost hair-like) 

 golden scales, arranged in faint /. c. , indefinite lines, which in some lights seem to 

 converge so as to form a "V" from the cephalic edge the whole length of the thorax, 

 the point caudad ; pleurae brown with white markings ; scutellum brown at center, 

 paler laterad, with slender golden curved scales (such as are on the thorax) and 

 golden bristles ; metanotum brown. 



Abdomen dark brown, slight grayish reflections, golden hairs ; on the ventral 

 side are a few scattered white scales and near the caudal end a bunch of rather long 

 brown scales. 



Legs. — Coxre and trochanters all dark brown, white-tipped ; femora and tibiae all 

 dark brown, well sprinkled with white scales, the rest of the legs a little lighter 

 brown and in some lights giving almost " fawn-colored " reflections ; all the joints of 

 the legs and feet are white-tipped, except the last tarsal joints, and on the mid legs 

 that is a little lighter, giving almost " clay-colored " reflections. Ungues simple and 

 brown. Wings dark with two small yellow spots on costa, one at the apex of the 

 wing and extending on the apices of the first-longitudinal and anterior fork of second 

 longitudinal with light spots on the fringe at apices of first longitudinal and anterior 

 fork of second longitudinal and an included dark spot at apex of marginal cell, giving 

 the appearance of an incomplete ring (c) ; the other, much smaller, on the costa at 

 junction of the subcosta. The costal and basal portions of the wing are dark-scaled 

 with a few white scales on the cosia, subcosta, first and second longitudinal, but the 

 third longitudinal is mostly white-scaled, and on this appear a few of the round-ended 

 scales. The fourth longitudinal is largely dark-scaled with a few of the longer scales, 

 but the scales are mostly of the roundish sort which are either black or white ; there 

 are dark spots at the apices of each fork and light fringe at the apex of the anterior 

 fork. The fifth longitudinal has almost exclusively the rounder scales, and is mostly 

 white, both as to stem and forks ; dark spots at the apices of each fork, and the stem 

 has a dark base, as have all the veins except the sixth, which is light-scaled, save two 

 heavy dark spots, one at the apex and one about the middle of the vein. The sixth 

 has entirely the roundish-ended scales in both black and white. The fringe is dark 

 except for the three small places indicated, /. i\, at the apices of first longitudinal 

 anterior fork of second and anterior fork of fourth longitudinal. Most of the veins, 

 even where light, have a sprinkling of the dark among the median scales, but the 

 larger part of the dark scales on these veins are lateral scales and lie close under the 

 median scales, so that the wing looks much darker from the under (ventral) view, and 

 in all the veins caudad of the third the lateral as well as the median scales are almost 

 entirely of the " 3-round-ended " sort. The wing has, however, as a whole a dark 

 rather than light appearance, probably due to the very heavy scaling of the first two 

 or three veins, which are mostly dark-scaled. The first submarginal cell is a little 

 longer and narrower than the second posterior, the base of the former nearly on a line 

 with the base of the latter, but not near the junction of the costa and subcosta ; the 

 stem of the former is about two thirds the length of the cell, and shorter than that of 

 the second posterior, which is longer than the cell. The cross-veins are close to 

 gether, the mid-vein much the longest, meeting the supernumerary at nearly a right 

 angle (toward the apex of the wing), and the posterior cross-vein is not half its 

 length from the mid- vein and stands at almost the same angle in the reverse direction. 

 The halteres have black knobs, stem and base are light. Length 5 mm. (with pro- 

 boscis 7 mm.).
