Wing hyaline, the costal cell and margins of all veins yellowish brown; venation 
normal. Legs yellow, with black hair, the tarsi slightly darker. 
Abdomen yellowish brown, with a darker median stripe on dorsum and a 
mixture of black and yellowish hair. 
Male—Unknown. 
Type.—Female, in the Berlin Museum. 
Type locality United States, probably St. Johns Bluff, St. Johns 
River, Fla. 
Distribution—Duval (%) and Volusia Counties, Fla. August 4 
(Volusia County). In the United States National Museum, one 
female. 
The above description and the drawings were made from the type, 
an old and, presumably, somewhat faded specimen. The specimen 
from Volusia County, in the United States National Museum, differs 
from the type in being somewhat darker and grayer with a black 
frontal callus, with a shghtly more elongate median callus, and with 
a little longer process on the second antennal segment. The specimen 
was preserved in aicohol and is not in the best of condition, but there 
seems to be no doubt about its identity. Without doubt fresher 
specimens would be darker than the type.
