 $. L. 10 mm. Deep inky black, antennae clothed with fine 

 greyish pile, the tegulae reddish in the middle, and the trochanters, 

 femora, and tibiae of the four hind legs more or less ferruginous, 

 at least beneath. Wings purplish hyaline, with some subvitreous 

 Spaces just beyond, and around the out er cubital cell of the fore- 

 wings, hind-wings paler towards the base. Marginal area of all 

 the wings thickly sprinkled with brow^n dots. Clypeus obtusely 

 truncated at the extremity; a strong median carina between the 

 antennae. Head, thorax, and scutellum thickly punctured; ab- 

 domen more finely, but still more thickly. Scutellum very broad, 

 only slightly narrowed at the extremity, where it ends in a point 

 on each side, between which is a concavity which is rather obtusely 

 angulated than rounded. Between the sides of this angle projects 

 a tuft of rather strong greyish bristles.
