 area ; antennae pale with dusky bands, ochreous basal segment. 



Thorax bright brown clothed with scanty very small curved 

 scales of a rich golden brown, two median creamy lines nearly 

 parallel, but just slightly diverging and then contracting in 

 front, running from the front to the bare space in front of the

 and almost black lines; tarsal segments brown above, pale 

 creamy below ; fore and mid ungues equal, uniserrate, black : 

 hind equal and simple.

 longer and narrower than the second posterior, their bases about 

 level, stem of the former about two-thirds the length of the cell : 

 stem of the latter about three-fourths as long as the cell ; 

 posterior cross-veins shorter than the mid, about its own length 

 distant from it ; halteres with pale stem and fuscous knob.
