dark brown. Ovipositor with the valves, especially the

Similar to O. eluta, Edwards, from which it differs as 

 follows : — 



Head ochreous, darker medially. Wings with a clear 

 light yellow tinge, the veins slightly darker yellow. 

 Venation : ^^^2 farther removed from the tip of Sc^ ; Rs 

 arcuated at origin ; 7?2 oblique, close to, but separate from, 

 i?i at the margin ; cell 1^^ M2 very small, almost square, 

 tending to be open by the atrophy of the outer deflection of 

 M^ ; basal deflection of Cu^ longer. Conspicuous macro- 

 trichise on Sc almost to the base ; R2 with a single macro- 

 trichia, situated on the basal half. Abdominal tergites 

 concolorous with the ochreous thorax, the sternites a very

Female. — Length about 7 mm.; wing 8'3 mm. 



Generally similar to L. truncata, Alexander, differing as 

 follows : — 



Size smaller. Wings with the brown pattern a little less 

 extensive. Venation : Rs angulate at origin ; r less than its 

 own length from the tip of i?i ; basal deflection of Cui 

 about two-thirds its length beyond the fork of AI. Male 

 hypopygium with the pleurites simple, the mesal apical 

 angle not produced as in truncata ; outer pleural appendage 

 blackened, the apex very obtusely rounded to subtruncate ; 

 inner pleural appendage with the base enlarged, the more 

 slender apex weakly sigmoid in shape. Gonapopbyses 

 appearing as two slender fleshy lobes that lie parallel, one on
