fringed with black setae. Halteres short, the stem thick, yellow, 
with a few very short black hairs; the club pyriform, black or very 
deep brown, with apparently no pubescence. Abdomen somewhat 
flattened, not quite the width of the thorax, about three times the 
length ; first segment much narrowed ; ochraceous-brown, the 
posterior borders of the segments deep brown (this border of brown 
is generally narrow, but sometimes covers more than half the 
segment); densely clothed with black hairs; anal joint lai’ge and 
robust, forceps not the width of the terminal abdomuial segment, 
deep brown, densely pubescent, arms narrow, bidentate at the 
extremity, and armed along the inner side with semi-erect 
spinitbrm processes.* Coxae pale ochraceous with black hairs 
on the front ; tips of the fore and intermediate, and 
ajjical half of the hindcoxae deep brown on the front, also 
a more oi less indistinct brownish spot generally appears in 
the middle of the front of the intermediate pair. Femoi-a

.somewhat squarish, lying between the costa and base of the third 
longitudinal vein, not extending laterally quite to the tip of the 
first longitudinal vein on one side or to the tip of the auxiliary 
vein on the other side, generally covering a little of the base of the 
anterior branch of the third longitudinal ; posterior branch of tlie 
fork not reaching the margin ; second spot more transverse than 
•The nnmberof these spines varies; in four specimens I counted thirteen,
