and tarsi. Wings clear, with three distinct broad brown bands- 

 from the costa towards the hind margin : the first beginning at 

 the basal cross-veins, tilling one-half of the basal cells and one- 

 third of the anal cell, thence disappearing ; the second is rather 

 narrower and exactly in the middle of the wing, reaching from 

 the costa almost to the hind border, enclosing the inner cross- 

 vein and nearly filling the basal half of the discal cell ; the third 

 is joined on the costa to the second by the stigma, extends nearly 

 to the tip of the wing, leaving a narrow clear margin, and reaches 

 the posterior border, filling the whole of the second, third, and 

 fourth posterior cells. Stigma very dark brown, filling all the 

 cell as far inwards to just above the origin of the third longi- 

 tudinal vein ; halteres rather long and prominent, pale yellow ; 

 clubs black, elongated. 



Length, 5 mm.
