restrietedly patterned with daker. Tualteres dark brown, the base of stem 
restrivtedly yellow. Legs with the coxae testaceous brown; trochanters yellow ; 
femora yellowish brown, the tips very gradually passing into darker; tibiae light 
brown; tarsi brownish black ; last tarsal segment at base of lower surface with a 
peneil of setae; claws (male) bidentate; spur-formula 0—O—1, Wings with a 
yellowish ground, more infuscated beyond cord; preareular field and cell C move 
yellowed, cell Se infuscated; stizma and adjoining cells more strongly darkened ; 
veins brown, Venation: Rs and m—cu subequal; Hy >» strongly preserved, cell 
R» small; petiole of cell Mz shorter than m; cell 1st My narrow, pentagonal, the 
proximal end produced basad ; cell 2nd A very narrow. 
Basal abdominal tergites reddish brown, on about the third and succeeding 
segments dark brown, the caudal margins vaguely brightened; sternites orange- 
yellow, the outermost segments and hypopygium more infuseated. Ovipositor 
with verci long and slender, very slightly decurved, the narrowly obtuse tips pale. 
Male hypopygium with the tergite and sternite fused, the basistyle completely 
ent off by asuture. Region of tergite produced into two blackened blades or lobes ; 
viewed from above, these separated by a broad U-shaped or quadrate notch, the 
surface of mesal face with a fringe of coarse reddish setae: viewed from the side 
the blades appear much deeper, the inner margin microscopically toothed, the 
ventral outer angle produced into a sharp tooth, the ventral cephalic portion a 
rounded lobe or knob. Region of ninth sternite produced yentrad into a small 
fingerlike lobe. Quter dististyle conspicuously expanded outwardly, unequally 
bilobed at apex, the shorter inner lobe with stouter and more dense black setae. 
Inner dististyle with the beak relatively slender, the lower beak a rounded black 
knob; outer basal lobe a stout pale lobe that is shallowly emarginate at tip to 
form two blutitly obtuse lobes. Gonapoplyses appearing as very broadly flattened 
plates, the tips obtuse, subtending the very sleuder aedeagus; the latter, just 
before apex on either side, produced into a small point to produce a crosslike 
appearance.
